SBNation Readers choice award: Defensive Player of the Year

by your friendly BullsBlogger on Apr 21, 2007 5:53 PM CDT

Explanation of the awards are here. This is the thread for Defensive Player of the Year.

My theory on this award is that big men should always get the award and wing 'stoppers' are overrated.

Remember, pick top-3!

Are we contractually required. . .

To put a Bull in the top three for every award?

There's

no way in hell that Du was the 76th best defender in the league.

(yes, I understand it was a joke. I'm just saying it doesn't work for this one like for 6th man. You should've put 276th)

duhon is quite the defender. He just cant defend people who are freaking 7 inches taller than him or actually he doesnt do that bad of a job on them but his defense is almost on par with hinrich's . It sure helps he doesnt commit stupid fouls every other 8 seconds.

Cuz I'm not putting a toe

in the Nocioni syrup thread (game flow last night peaked when Thomas entered late in the 3rd). Dwyer stands for truth and justice too!

honorable mention... anthony parker for doing his best Bruce Bowen impression up north (the corner threes, stingy D, and otherwise nondescript game, it's all there)
