Didn't see this on here.... But DPOY went to Noah, with Hibbert in second... AD in 8th.
Maybe I'm a homer, but Hibbert played 29mpg, 4dreb/gm, 2.7 bpg... Vs Davis 35mpg, 7dreb/gm, 2.8bpg
On top of that, hibbert was immature and benched throughout the season. I'm not saying Davis should've been in 2nd or Hibbert in 8th... But I think this is just Davis still being a relatively unknown amongst the league still
DPOY to Noah

Noah is well deserved. Davis in 8th is a joke.

Can't argue with Noah. Davis at 8, LOL.

Probably a product of our team defense still being so bad. Not saying it's fair, but I have to think that played a part.

Team defense plays a huge factor in this award. Davis struggles with bigger guys still and although he blocks a lot of shots, he is by no means a defensive anchor yet. Although no one really doubts that he will be in the next year or two

Already said. Our team defense was nothing special. Whereas Noah was their anchor. AD will get his someday.

After Noah, Indiana center Roy Hibbert and Clippers center DeAndre Jordan finished 2-3. Oklahoma City forward Serge Ibaka was fourth, Golden State wing Andre Iguodala took fifth, Miami forward LeBron James was sixth and Indiana forward Paul George netted seventh. Davis finished in an eight-place tie with Houston center Dwight Howard.

04-23-2014, 10:28 AMIamQuailmanThe laughable part of this is any GSW player getting votes. Iggy is riding reputation (despite missing a good quarter of the season with an injury).Quote:

Thanks to Bogut more than Iggy.

I don't disagree with Noah winning it. Noah, Ibaka and AD were the best defenders in the league. Deandre Jordan too. But AD at #8? Nah....

I love AD but the dude has been no defensive stalwart. He changes a lot of shots but his defensive instincts and IQ have a long way to go. He'll get there as he matures and spends more time in the league. His one on one defense is okay. I like his footwork. But he still has a long way to go with that as well. Hopefully his body filling out, learning not to bite on pump fakes, and having faith in better team defense can help correct some of those. I don't think AD is even top ten defensively for this last season. I think he will be at least deserving of a DPOY eventually but as better than advertised his offense has been, his defensive reputation has fallen short in my opinion.
