Don’t think he deserved it but DPoY is arguably even more of a narrative based award than MVP…

Voter fatigue with Gobert, Bam and Dray missed too many games, Mikal too young. The best narrative is to make Smart the first guard to win it since Payton.

Congrats to Smart though great defensive player :ehh:
:yeshrug: It's okay to be wrong

Gobert robbed but whatever
Gobert missed a bunch of games and led the Jazz to a mediocre defense. Nah. If you're a rim protector and your team is barely top 10 defensively, you aren't DPOY. :yeshrug:

Games played is a weak argument considering the fact that Smart only played in 5 more games. It's not Rudy's problem that the team around him is ass on defense.
