Uncover the Surprising NBA Award Favorites That Data Experts Didn’t See Coming This Season
Other Contenders
Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs; Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder; Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers
NBA Defensive Player of the Year
Methodology: Here we use D-DRIP, the defensive version of DRIP.
1. Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs (3.47 D-DRIP)
Since the start of the season, Wembanyama has been the frontrunner to take home the DPOY award. He should have won it last year if not for a blood clot in his shoulder ending his season prematurely. This season, the 7-foot-3 star continues to be the most dominant defender in the sport. The difference between him and the next-highest player in D-DRIP (0.57) is greater than what separates the individuals occupying second and fifth place. Again, it will come down to injuries. To be eligible, he must play 18 of his team’s final 21 games.
