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

I feel like on-ball defenders don’t get the praise they deserve in the defense conversation.
Agreed. The award has moved towards off ball defenders who get a lot of counting stats, despite the advancement of on ball metrics. A raptors specific example, voters prefer players like Barnes over O.G.
