I think my list will have Rudy, AD, Bam Adebayo, Brook Lopez, Mitchell Robinson as the top 5 defenders in my DPOY race so far.

Other Notable defenders: OG, Dillon Brooks, Herb Jones, Alex Caruso all deserve some appreciation

Gobert is the first one named in this post. Also the way the game has evolved, he’s definitely overrated as a defender overall. Rim protection and post defense is great but with other players in the rankings that do that and can either guard perimeter or 1-5, I just don’t see case being made for Rudy being a front runner just because he is not trash like last year.
