Defensive Player of the Year
During the last two season’s it’s been Kawhi Leonard‘s to lose – and he hasn’t done that. When watching him on the defensive end, it’s impressive the way he’s able to almost single-handedly eliminate one side of the court. That’s how long and skilled he is on that end of the floor.
Perhaps most impressively is that this is a guy that’s also good on the other end of the floor. Question is, will we see some voter fatigue this season? If so, that could open up an opportunity for a guy like Draymond Green or Rudy Gobert.
