All defensive team this year


Gobert
Davis
Draymond
Butler
???

Not sure who to put in that last spot. I could see voters mistakenly putting Whiteside over Gobert. Which would be B.S.

Exum one day?

Lebron. No one's mentioned Lebron. Which is poor form.

As much as we all hate cp3, he is considered a really good defender.
Maybe he takes that last spot.

Maybe conley

Normally I'd agree. I think he is one of the best defenders of all time, but it does seem like his defense has dropped off a little. I think he's probably still capable of it when he wants to, but he is getting older and has to conserve his energy a little. So it's not on display as much as it use to be. The guy just has way too much responsibility on the court as it is.

But ya, you are right. He probably can take one of those spot on the all defensive team. I wouldn't give him defensive player of the year award though.

Gobert, Whiteside, Butler. . . who else should be looked at for it this year?

Randolph? Gasol? I'm asking because I honestly don't know.

I think Jordan is a lock this year top 5 shot blocker one if the top post defenders and top rebounder this year

Leonard should make one of the defensive teams.

Also, Mike Conley probably deserves the PG spot.

I was watching LMU vs Pepperdine just now, and a player had an amazing block, prompting the announcer to say "DID HE JUST PULL A GOBERT??".

I can't believe how quickly Gobert's reputation has spread.

Here are the top 15 in DRPM this year, probably these players take home most of the first and second team all-defense.

1 Andrew Bogut, C
2 DeMarcus Cousins, C
3 Tim Duncan, PF
4 Tony Allen, SF
5 Jusuf Nurkic, C
6 Draymond Green, SF
7 Hassan Whiteside, C
8 Serge Ibaka, PF
9 Khris Middleton, SG
10 Kawhi Leonard, SF
11 Andre Roberson, SG
12 Anthony Davis, PF
13 Cody Zeller, PF
14 Tyson Chandler, C
15 Rudy Gobert, C

Comments: Duncan, amazingly still bringing it. Surprised by Zeller and Robertson on this list.
Bogut: His D is still underrated because of lack of flash. He's high IQ, like Duncan.
Surprised by absence of Noah and Hibbert
More salivation for those of you yearning for Middleton.

My guess is Cousins and Chandler for all defense Center. Next year it goes to Gobert and Whiteside.

Thoughts?

Cousins? Really???
