Rudy Gobert comfortably wins his fourth Defensive Player of the Year
Gobert won comfortably, getting 72 first-place votes from the 99-member media panel who cast ballots for the award. Victor Wembanyama was second in the voting and the Heat’s Bam Adebayo placed third. Adebayo deserves to win this award at least once, but it feels like Wembanyama will own it for the next decade or so.
