    One 3rd place vote for Beverley (Stacey King-CSN Chicago)

    He guarded BOTH Griffin and Paul yesterday. Only other player who can do that is Lebron. Beast.

    Interesting. Green got the most 1st place votes, but a lot of people left him off their ballot.

    How can Bogut get so much pub? He plays 20 minutes per game. No one cant impact a game enough in 20 minutes to warrant a DPOY vote.

    Should've been Jordan or even Green

    Kawhi missed a whole month.

    Jordan has played every game.

    This is totally a rep vote

    Kawhi is a much better defender than Jordan. The Clippers are actually better defensively when Jordan is sitting and they're only 15th overall in defense anyway.
