There are 11 players who have ranked in the top 3 in either 3 year RAPM (unadjusted or luck-adjusted) in the past 10 years.

Jokic
Embiid
Kawhi
Tatum
Giannis
PG13
Curry
Lebron
CP3
Lowry
Caruso

That's the list. The plus minus data suggests he's a slight positive on offense, and the most impactful defensive guard per possession we've ever seen. He lead the league in forced turnovers per 100 last year, on top of being an excellent contester. Obviously, he plays less minutes, so he has less cumulative impact than the other guys on this list.

I truly believe he would have been DPoY if Lonzo and Caruso stayed healthy in our first year with the revamped team. Being a decent seed with the number 1 defense, top in deflections and in total steals and in steals per game.
