Can he win it again? Through 10 games, he's 1st in rebounding and 4th in blocked shots. I know Roy Hibbert has been killing it for the Pacers and is the main candidate for the award so far since his team is 9-1.
Point's allowed is a horrid way to look at defense. Our defensive rating has been top 10, and I believe we are top 3 in opponent fg%
It will be Hibbert to lose. I think once the Rockets' chemistry starts clicking, Howard will make a serious run.
Hib is having a huge year this year, he is blocking 10% of 2point shots when he is on the floor, absolutely killing it!
I love how Howard was a beast of a center until this season where he has been reborn as a undersized one.
Howard has occasionally looked like a good defender, but not the awesome defender they made him out to be. There are a couple ahead of him, Hibbert clearly the leader as far as centers go.
If Dwight focused his energy solely on defense, then he would have a chance, but so far he's holding back a bit.
I think Hibbert's got it on lock down. He's the best defender on what is probably the best defensive team in the NBA.
