- Rudy Gobert wins Defensive Player of the Year if Wembanyama doesn't qualify.
“ultimately my pick, if it's not Wemby is going to be Rudy Gobert, the other French guy.”
Make your take
In context
LoweI think the Warriors are at risk of missing the play and just straight up missing the play. And I don't know if I'll pick them, but you know, I mentioned the top six and I would, I would right now put Portland Phoenix and Utah above the Warriors, which would slot them in at 10th and then just open the door to like, if any of these other teams over forms, your downside scenario is uncapped.
LoweSo you're picking who, who you're picking Chet. Who's your.
LoweSo
Goldsberryultimately my pick, if it's not Wemby is going to be Rudy Gobert, the other French guy.
LoweSo here were my, I lied. I had eight names highlighted for this award. Chet gets, I think, maybe unfairly penalized by the defensive infrastructure around him, but Dort is now elsewhere.
LoweBam just always, just never gets enough love in this awards race. He's always like, yeah, I'll put him to the fifth guy on the first team all defense. Yeah. Both the Thompson twins,
LoweOG Ananobi yep Rudy Gobert Evan Mobley he he did win it relatively recently right and Scotty Barnes those are my eight finalists for this fake non -Wemby defense player of the year Chet's the safe pick I think we know they're going to have like a top two defense in the NBA and he'll be the best big man defender on it um I am going to go out of the box and pick Scotty Barnes as my non -Wemby defensive player
