Even excluding the overall defensive performance of the Spurs, rookies with great individual stats tend to not get votes for the major trophies even hyped ones
The Admiral, Shaq, Yao, Marc Gasol, Kawhi, AD, Embiid, Mobley all got 0 votes for DPOY as a rookie
Dwight got one 5th place vote and Duncan got 4 1st place votes is as close as anyone’s got in 30 years. Wemby could average 14 boards and 3.5 blocks which is exactly what Shaq did on a bad team wouldn’t matter
