I dunno, how he’s played is to instantly be a 20/10/4/4 guy and already one of the absolute best defenders in the league, making first team and coming 2nd in DPOY as a rookie.
I agree it’s still early, but what he’s actually shown on the court has been a hell of a whole lot. It isn’t just speculation about future potential, he’s shown some serious shit, including clear improvement over the course of the season (especially after dropping the Sochan PG experiment).
But hes not really the 2nd best defender. He was not able to stop any center posting him. Dpoy also takes in team defense correct? Usually the winner is the best bigman on a top tier defense. Histocially at least above league average. They were around last right… seems like an addenda to me honestly not the 2nd best defender quite obviously

Wut
Which resulted in 22 wins. Being ranked 11th seems more appropriate on next years list if they win 35 games this season.
This has nothing to do. He was surrounded by Gleague players.
