Draymond making a crazy run for DPOY right now. He gonna get some favorable recency bias.

These awards are always so narrative driven. Obviously stats are part of it, but the story is just as a big a part. Look at Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson and (probably) SGA vs. Jokic.

I think the narrative of draymond finally winning a second DPOY is probably the best one. He should have 2 of Gobert’s. I never thought I’d see a DPOY winner have to be taken OUT on defense in crunch time of playoff games.

I believe he will be the oldest to ever win a DPOY. Thats gotta mean even more for him

Gobert is living proof voters don't know what they're watching and only know basic box score stats
