    If DPOY was purely merit based, would he finish top 20?

    Amen and Apli are both ahead of him in Defense Win Share and total Win Share.

    Pretty sure that's because the Rockets are an elite defense team, and the Hawks have Trae Young

    Would love to add him to our defensive unit. Could shut down the whole league. . . . Even easier.

    He has looked like a carbon copy of Amen every time I've watched them play.

    Even his facial structure is strikingly similar

    Someone need to check if Thompson Sr went on a vacation to Australia 23 years ago.

    Based on merit, please list all the players you believe are better perimeter defenders than Dyson Daniels.

    Everyone is eligible for dpoy, including bigs. If only perimeter players are eligible then he probably would be top 20. Totally different situation.

    I know that. I'm curious what your answer would be.

    OK then: Name 20 players regardless of position that merit a higher DPOY ranking based on merit than Dyson Daniels.

    It would take a good amount of research to answer this, which is why i framed it more as a question. In terms of no brainers zubac, jarrett allen, bam, rudy, mobley, giannis, ihart, draymond, JJJ, AD, wemby, and i'm sure other bigs i'm not remembering. It's EXTREMELY rare for a non big to be a legit top 10 DPOY. Amen for example is waaaaaaay better than daniels and those 10-11 bigs (if eligible) would be probably above amen (and chet who's barely played). When i see "DPOY candidate", that to me means that it's someone who should legit be in the top 5 or so, and daniels has no top 10 case.

    haha! I bet Morey is using some AI program to find players around the world with this face structure.
