    This was a given.

    Amen is a better defensive player than Dyson Daniels in every way except (perhaps) contesting and creating steals off the dribble.

    Not sure how Dyson got more DPOY votes from the media.

    Well deserved.

    He's only 22.

    I think the Rockets may have drafted a good one...

    Well deserved. He still has so much space to grow and yet here he is. Amazing.

    Dyson averages double the number of steals than Amen. It's not close.

    He won the award because in addition to being a great defender, he has a specific quantifiable stat that is insane: 3 steals/game.

    It is very hard to change a narrative when it gets set early in the season.

    An All-Star and an All NBA Defender on the team this year. Wonder who the core is.
