Rudy Gobert Wins DPOY

yesterday
12 players received votes for Defensive Player of the Year. Marcus Smart was not one of them. All-Defense team still to be unveiled. pic.twitter.com/98WaHmHv7m

MY NOTE:  Not one DPOY vote for Smart?  Matisse Thybulle?! Matisse Thybulle gets a vote for DPOY (3rd place) and Smart doesn't? You know that's going to motivate him...

Well earned. That dude is a beast. Yeah, a little shocked about Marcus but he had a difficult year along with the whole team. Plus at times it looked like the turnstiles at Disney on opening day. Couple that with his freaking out at the ref and being tossed another time...understandable snub. Plus great defense only works if you bring others along. Not really sure I can point to anyone else that showed up consistently.
