Just feel like you have to be more than a rim presence these days in order to win DPOY with how the game has evolved.

After they have the award to Marcus Smart, I got no problem with AD complaining

This is not on Klutch. BUT ON YALL

We saw Drew hanlan whine and tweet his way to get Embiid MVP. Nothing from Klutch though

Y'all and the euro loving media wouldn't let that happen 2 years in a row.

I'm referring to the finalists for this year. 2/3 for MVP and DPOY.
Wemby being a finalist is a joke and so is Gobert. Jokic and Luka I can't really argue those.

If you can’t see why wemby is there, that’s on you. I’ve been saying Gobert was food for about 8 years now. Don’t ask me

I can't see why he's there when his team is in the lottery again. That's like giving a MVP to a player who didn't make the playoffs

Would’ve been fine with him not winning it, but he’d basically switch 1-5 all game and always held whoever was on him under league average. That’s having to spend significant time on all the league’s best players out in space.
Mikal Bridges also had a similar case that year.
It’s basically 2 completely different assignments. Might as well have 2 different awards.

They got tired of only big men winning. Other than Kawhi or draymond, wings hadn’t been winning

It’s an individual award. Individually he’s a plus defender. There’s visual impact of him shutting off water. He can change every shot in the world but if you’re playing with 3 non starting caliber players, your team is going to be trash.

The ONLY argument against Wemby (or AD) winning is that his teammates aren’t good 
36 more steals and 92 more blocks in 5 less games. Deters folks from even attempting shots just like Goober.
The eye test backs up the stats even more

MVP isn't the only individual award that's typically tied to team success. I'd give it to Wemby but voters count wins as good defense.
It is but the voters are human and can be influenced.... Didn't some other player cry their way to an award a few years back.

As the consensus is saying and it’s smart, rest Kawhi until Game 3. You dominated and could conceivably, again, win Game 2 without him.
