No doubt he deserved it over Wemby

Yeah Wemby is not there yet his defensive impact was huge this year but it wasn’t consistent and the team defense was horrid. Team should be better and Wemby should be more consistent next year.

Rudy is definitely the DPOY and he also has the benefit of Minny having a narratively good defense.

Congrats to Rudy on his 4th and final DPOY.

He will win it some day but he's exactly where he should be for now

Twitter is having a field day with this. Majority of the comments under every post regarding this announcement are saying Wemby was robbed. Twitter knows ball.

Love it! Well deserved - Anyone watching the Wolves this season would know the defensive impact he had on us being where we are now

Very well deserved. He was the best from day 1 of the season

If it was defensive player of the second half of the season it might have been a race.

Wemby came on very slow to begin the season. Gobert was the best literally from game 1 of the season.

It's a season award, not the last few months of the year award

I continue to believe AD is the best defensive player in the world but Gobert was awesome this year. I don't know if he really improved in this area this season or if he's always been good at this and I just never knew/noticed, but he held up really well on switches too.

Wemby will have at least 2 or 3 of these before he hangs them up.

I don't understand what the Nuggets are doing.... Don't they know that they can just pay Gobert off the court?!?!?

Be curious to see the all defensive teams. Top 2 here is fine but all defence voting is about as bad as it gets.

Castle Black wrote:Minnesota looking absolutely dominant Defensively last game against the defending champs without Gobert on the floor speaks volumes. Rudy had 3 other players on his team ranked in the Top-20 Defensively this season.

Meanwhile the Spurs dropped from the #4 ranked Defense in the league when Wemby was on the floor to #28 (!!) when he sat lol. That’s insane. Wemby also lead the league in Blocks & Stocks by a HUGE margin, as well as Steals for a Center, lest we forget.

Read on Twitter

Yep. Wemby was best defensive player IMO, while Gobert was the best defender on the best defensive team. Kind of like the best player not always getting MVP due to team record.

Well deserved and congrats to him! He's a major part of why the Wolves defense is so good.

Listening to Finch's post game yesterday, he made it sound as though Rudy has been the driving force behind the team buying in to playing defense and convincing them how good the team would be by their defense.

Despite the many false narratives about him, it's nice to know the voters know the truth.

When your conclusion is that Twitter knows what it's talking about, you can take that as a sign you have lost your way.
