The recovery of Wemby's blocks is amazing. You can see it in how he blocks though. He doesn't swat at the ball. He's so long, he doesn't have to swat. He just reaches out and touches it. Because he hands are so big, sometimes he just grabs the ball. His 8 foot wingspan does not just mean more blocks, it means more recovered blocks.
@@David-iv6je Almost every defensive metric you can possibly find has Rudy as the best defensive player in the league, and by a solid margin too. Idk why people don't understand his impact beyond box stat watching.

@@MB-td5wd There's a lot of ways this could be. Perhaps his teammates can't keep perimeter players in front of them resulting in lots of drives into the paint, and Wemby also doesn't care to guard the perimeter so he just goes inside and blocks shots.

The difference between the Lebrons deal and Kobe’s is the Lakers knew they were going to tank and they had control of their draft picks. So you can put butts in the seats for the Kobe farewell years, while always getting 2 lottery picks. Julius Randle & D-Russell (obviously they wish the players were better but they ended up with the 7th & 2nd overall picks respectively) also Kobe won 5 rings and had been a Laker since age 17 the emotional dynamic was completely different. With Lebron, you’ve gutted your draft rights for years into the future already to appease him, you’ve made multiple trades, and free agency signings and yes they have won 1 title but they’ve also had to play multiple playin games and usually they’re place in the standings often don’t reflect the preseason projections held by most in the basketball viewing community. So signing Lebron for 3 more years and 162 million to do what exactly? They aren’t winning a championship with him as they’re best player, and AD is in his 30’s when he plays at his apex he just isn’t Giannis, Jokic, or Embiid in terms of impact on winning and he never has been in his entire career, he’s just been insanely talented but we know after a decade in the league he can’t carry a team. The problem with getting in the Lebron James business is that it’s not as simple as just blowing up the team because the Lakers have no draft capital because it’s been traded away to captures elusive ring number 5. Meanwhile former Lakers who the media convinced us couldn’t play are producing for other teams like Michael Beasley & Malik Monk for example bringing into question is Lebron James at this age able to get the most out of his teammates at this stage in his career.
Rudy has a 103.9 drtg. He elevated KAT to second in the league in drtg. He's a rising tide elevating the Wolves defense to number 1 in the association.
If you want to use team stats for individual performance. Timberwolves according to PBP stats (excluding loss to Kings) have played 59 games and 2847 minutes. Gobert was on court for 1906 minutes and off court for 941 minutes. Team points allowed per 100 possessions with Gobert on court 108.25 and with Gobert off court 110.061 the difference is 1.811 points per 100 possessions. This means either Gobert makes a small difference or his team has a bunch of good defenders making his absence only slightly worse in terms of defense. Now the Spurs allow more points as a team per 100 possessions, but the difference is also a lot bigger. The Spurs have played 60 games and 2890 minutes. Wembanyama on court 1548 minutes and off court 1342 minutes. Points per 100 possessions with Wembanyama on court 115.387 with him off court 122.116 the difference being 6.729 points per 100 possessions. That either means Wembanyama makes a lot bigger difference in the defense of his team or he has such poor defensive teammates that a smalerl contribution stands out a lot more. One could also state that drtg is a very poor stat to use to determine the best defensive players. Do you know that Jaren Jackson Jr. with his defensive player of the year title from last year and two time first team all defense the last two years have a defensive rating of 112.8 this year and Nikola Jokic have a defensive rating of 108.7 this year. That just shows the worth of this stat further because he plays with some good defenders, or it shows that Jokic have been one of the top 10 defenders in the league this year as he currently ranks 8th in the league just behind Chet Holmgren.
The Spurs with Wemby on the court are a top 5 best defense. When Wemby is on the bench they are the worst defense in the NBA. He’s the DPOY. The only way he isn’t in he DPOY is because he doesn’t play enough… but that just makes his stats even more ridiculous.

Gobert should win DPOY. Hes the new Big Ben/Dwight where its his award to lose every year and seeing his team right now, he wont. Hes probably their 2nd best player right now even though KAT dcored 50 in a pointless allstar game lol
Bruh now is rudy’s last chance to win it. The DPOTY will then be won by wemby every year. Wemby got more steals+blocks than some NBA TEAMS, as a rookie😂😂😂 Haters can’t believe that absurdity. They’ll go to team records 😂
You could still do a 2-year deal with LeBron and that would probably be nine figures as well. 100,000,000 over two would give you that 45 million plus a second year at 55 million. I probably wouldn't do it either but I could see that one getting done.

@@ryanwall1780 Lol they're the #1 seed but they have as much respect as the Kings and Clippers right now. Basically, they look cool in the regular season but no one has them doing anything until proven otherwise.

Sure the team record is one thing but what about the team defense? Rudy is leading the very best defense in the NBA while Wemby is on one of the worst defenses in the league.

@@reynalyndapat6284 lmao you guys are hilarious. Rudy and Wemby are 1st and 2nd in DRTG right now, but the gap in DRTG between Rudy (104.1) and Wemby (107.7) is larger than the gap between Wemby and the 17th player in DRTG Claxton (111.1)… like I said, Rudy is on another level.
Id prefer to do a 3 year 100 mill for lebron. First year the team would be a pretender lebron needs an elite scorer next to him ideally donovan mitchell and then the third guy should be like a jakob poetle. But since lebron is going to be making like 50 mil year one itll be far from ideal to get the role players around him. To appease lebron id sign a streaky guard who cant play defense for one year on a big contract id get a coach who wed look to fire at the end of the season. Once that year of being fake comtenders ends and since lebrons contract woild decreas by 25 mil id say look bron since you took a pay cut the 25 million dollars he now has that as the lebron allowance so he can use that money to sign guys to the roster. The other 19 million will be used by the front office to get guys who actually fit well with him
Wemby is not going to win DPOY. The end of season awards have historically been reserved for players on good teams I'm not saying players on bad teams have NEVER won them but that's not the norm. They're not about to give DPOY to a guy on one of the worst teams in the league.
Wenby isn't DPOY!!! He has terrible positioning and his team is defensive garbage. Sure, he gets a lot of highlight worthy blocks and has physical tools we've never seen. However, that's only a small part of defense. He doesn't help organize the defense, he gets blown by, he creates open shots because he is chasing blocks too much.
Terrible positioning that he has more blocks than other TEAMS.. Haters are trying too hard. Calm down😂 Next season spurs won’t tank again, victor will decimate your idol. You haters won’t watch basketball again I swear.
Giving DPOY to Wemby is dumb. I like him a lot, but the team record is shit. It’s Goberts. If that was the case we’ve been doing DPOY wrong for fucking years
Bam has deserved it for years and people wanna do this shit. We’ve had great defenders and our VOTERS are who fuck it up. Look at smarts award that year. Gtfoh
@@coopertodd28Smart def shouldnt have won it. It was a mixture of the coach and players being really good and Smart just got the credit. He wasnt even the best guard defender that year. it was Jrue
Anthony Davis is by far and away the best defensive player in the league. Should be DPOY. Gobert is a system defender. AD is a defensive system. Different worlds there
No, the main reason is because he's french, like Wemby and this dumb "discussion" for the ROY with Chet. NBA's medias don't understand that non US players are now walking on the League (NBA's top 5 players, DPOY and ROY). European players will smash the league soon, that's only the beginning....
Not every award is designed around winning. And if Westbrook could win MVP when his team was a 6th seed then Wemby can definitely qualify for DPOY with this squad. His numbers are crazy.
He’s not a great defender. He makes great defensive highlight plays but he’s definitely not a great defensive player. He’s gotten better on that end and everywhere else but he is still lost a lot.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 he’s not. Ratings aren’t how you view defense. Watch him off ball and see how often he’s not where he should be. He’s still really good. He’s just not an elite defender. He’s tall. So he blocks shots and can get in the way. But he’s not a great defender.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 is there anyway people can get off this stuff w Wemby? The team is 12-45. Like let’s move on. Shaq joined a worse team and went from terrible to .500. Let’s be real. He’s good but this is a lot of social media hype for a guy that doesn’t impact winning
@@vietnam1978 their problem is nobody can shoot on the spurs which is why they’re NOT good, Chet has all NBA teammates and Wemby has Devin Vassell as his two
Wemby is elite, but I can’t say he deserves it since his team is still below average and is on pace for 15 minutes - they play a lot of meaningless minutes and games. He’ll have his chance but not this year
The spurs are so bad and make so many mistakes that are easy chase downs and help blocks. You can block a lot of shots and get a lot of steals but that doesn't mean you are playing elite defense. It means you can make up for mistakes you or others have made and you can make a lot of steals taking a lot of risks and jumping passing lanes and being overly aggressive. Dude will obviously get DPOYs regularly I dont feel the need to try to make a square peg fit in a round hole this year. The fact the Spurs are SO terrible and POP is their coach that should matter. He can be somewhat innefficient and all that he's a rookie. Let dude be a rookie. Otherwise just name the award after him and there's no point in a vote.

@@reynalyndapat6284 lmao you guys are hilarious. Rudy and Wemby are 1st and 2nd in DRTG right now, but the gap in DRTG between Rudy (104.1) and Wemby (107.7) is larger than the gap between Wemby and the 17th player in DRTG Claxton (111.1)… like I said, Rudy is on another level.
AD so disrespected when it comes DPOY
Id prefer to do a 3 year 100 mill for lebron. First year the team would be a pretender lebron needs an elite scorer next to him ideally donovan mitchell and then the third guy should be like a jakob poetle. But since lebron is going to be making like 50 mil year one itll be far from ideal to get the role players around him. To appease lebron id sign a streaky guard who cant play defense for one year on a big contract id get a coach who wed look to fire at the end of the season. Once that year of being fake comtenders ends and since lebrons contract woild decreas by 25 mil id say look bron since you took a pay cut the 25 million dollars he now has that as the lebron allowance so he can use that money to sign guys to the roster. The other 19 million will be used by the front office to get guys who actually fit well with him
Yapper on left. Stoic dad on right
Wemby is not going to win DPOY. The end of season awards have historically been reserved for players on good teams I'm not saying players on bad teams have NEVER won them but that's not the norm. They're not about to give DPOY to a guy on one of the worst teams in the league.
agreed especially on a minutes restriction. But he will def make an all defense team and Chet might to
Yes, he cannot win Defensive Player of the Best Defensive Team of the Year😂 Sounds like a team award.
Wenby isn't DPOY!!! He has terrible positioning and his team is defensive garbage. Sure, he gets a lot of highlight worthy blocks and has physical tools we've never seen. However, that's only a small part of defense. He doesn't help organize the defense, he gets blown by, he creates open shots because he is chasing blocks too much.
Terrible positioning that he has more blocks than other TEAMS.. Haters are trying too hard. Calm down😂 Next season spurs won’t tank again, victor will decimate your idol. You haters won’t watch basketball again I swear.
Giving DPOY to Wemby is dumb. I like him a lot, but the team record is shit. It’s Goberts. If that was the case we’ve been doing DPOY wrong for fucking years
Bam has deserved it for years and people wanna do this shit. We’ve had great defenders and our VOTERS are who fuck it up. Look at smarts award that year. Gtfoh
@@coopertodd28Smart def shouldnt have won it. It was a mixture of the coach and players being really good and Smart just got the credit. He wasnt even the best guard defender that year. it was Jrue
Gobert numbers and impact is mediocre. You’ve got to be in denial, team record does not effect individual statistics
@@PattyTheBaddy Did you just say Rudy's impact is mediocre? Laughable
@@PattyTheBaddy you must’ve not watched the wolves much this year. Last year sure, this year hell nah.
Anthony Davis is by far and away the best defensive player in the league. Should be DPOY. Gobert is a system defender. AD is a defensive system. Different worlds there
Beyond disrespectful to Rudy. Just haters cuz they hated the trade and generally don’t like him.
No, the main reason is because he's french, like Wemby and this dumb "discussion" for the ROY with Chet. NBA's medias don't understand that non US players are now walking on the League (NBA's top 5 players, DPOY and ROY). European players will smash the league soon, that's only the beginning....
Pistons would Draft Bronny in the 2nd round and pay LeBron 100% right? They are going to suck the next 2 years anyways... lol
Wemby is clear ROY and DPOY. When he's on the floor Spurs are top5 defense
What the fuck? 😂 They're absolutely not a top 5 defense when he's on the floor.
11-48 lol no shot
@dimitrijetucovic1307 have a look on the stats kid...
@@christopheb.6121 Yeah dipshit, 118 defensive rating with him 127 without him, that's not near the top 5.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 yea they are. Just check ;)
Idc how great Wemby is you can’t give him DPOY when he’s on one of the worst teams in the league that’s also terrible defensively
Yes, you can. Especially when he has more blocks than some teams do and his on/off stats defensively are monstrous
@@jazzprincemusic & his impact has zero effect on the outcome of games as their 11-48 record proves……
Man he’s playing with the worst players in the league
Not every award is designed around winning. And if Westbrook could win MVP when his team was a 6th seed then Wemby can definitely qualify for DPOY with this squad. His numbers are crazy.
@@bubbagump9662have you watched the games at all? He literally changes the way people play, they avoid taking shots around him.
He’s not a great defender. He makes great defensive highlight plays but he’s definitely not a great defensive player. He’s gotten better on that end and everywhere else but he is still lost a lot.
😂 Ok kid...
What a casual. He's top 3 in individual defensive ratings in the league.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 he’s not. Ratings aren’t how you view defense. Watch him off ball and see how often he’s not where he should be. He’s still really good. He’s just not an elite defender. He’s tall. So he blocks shots and can get in the way. But he’s not a great defender.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 is there anyway people can get off this stuff w Wemby? The team is 12-45. Like let’s move on. Shaq joined a worse team and went from terrible to .500. Let’s be real. He’s good but this is a lot of social media hype for a guy that doesn’t impact winning
Wemby might with DPOY but he needs to let his teammates shoot more like Chet to get some wins
Dog, this doesn’t make sense hahaha, who’s gonna shoot all the shots, Devonte graham?😂
@coopertodd28 I have no idea what your true to say lol
Maybe if he had shai on his team lmao. The reason the spurs are losing is bc his teammates shoot too much
@@vietnam1978 their problem is nobody can shoot on the spurs which is why they’re NOT good, Chet has all NBA teammates and Wemby has Devin Vassell as his two
U obviously don’t watch the spurs
Lbj mvp peds 💉
Wemby is elite, but I can’t say he deserves it since his team is still below average and is on pace for 15 minutes - they play a lot of meaningless minutes and games. He’ll have his chance but not this year
The spurs are so bad and make so many mistakes that are easy chase downs and help blocks. You can block a lot of shots and get a lot of steals but that doesn't mean you are playing elite defense. It means you can make up for mistakes you or others have made and you can make a lot of steals taking a lot of risks and jumping passing lanes and being overly aggressive. Dude will obviously get DPOYs regularly I dont feel the need to try to make a square peg fit in a round hole this year. The fact the Spurs are SO terrible and POP is their coach that should matter. He can be somewhat innefficient and all that he's a rookie. Let dude be a rookie. Otherwise just name the award after him and there's no point in a vote.
