J.E. Skeet

But yeah, Scottie Barnes could be on this list, but not according to FanDuel's odds.

It's basically there's two awards.

There's the Defensive Player of the Year for Wemby, and then there's...

who maybe else is in the running.

Michael Pena did have an interesting case for Derek White, just to show him some love.

He said, if you're looking for counting stats, Derek White is second in stocks, steals plus blocks.

His 1.5 blocks per game, currently the most in NBA history by anyone shorter than 6'5".

It's pretty amazing.

And if you like advanced numbers, among all players who average at least 30 minutes per game, Derek White ranks second in defensive estimated plus minus.

So he's a really good paint protector, especially for his size.

He is all over passing lanes.

He defends every position for a guy his size.

Derek White, he's a legit awesome defender here.

And Scottie Barnes can be on this list.

I'm in Thompson.

It's a long list, but it's Wemby's if he hits the 65-game threshold.

Rookie of the Year, mid-season point.

Four names we threw on.

Probably only needed three, right?

Vijay Edgecombe, Cooper Flagg, Conn Knipple, and Derek Queen, who got maybe one vote here.
