SB Nation Reader's Choice Defensive Player of the Year

by Dan @ Bright Side Of The Sun on Apr 26, 2007 4:57 PM MDT in Phoenix Suns News

The Defensive Player of the Year votes are in and the winner is....not Shawn Marion. In fact, he didn't even come in second. He came in a distant third. The winner was Marcus Camby. Check out the votes at Poasting and Toasting.

What exactly is it that people look for in defensive player of the year? What do you think? Should Shawn have come in third? should Marcus Camby have won the thing?

No surprise

It amazes me why nobody thinks someone from the Suns can be defensive player of the year, but they have no problem at all giving it to someone from Denver. But whatever. When he's not injured, Camby does play pretty good defense, and does it "cleanly" not like Bruce Bowen. Speaking of Bowen, who is that guy who came in 6th on the list? I don't think I've heard of that guy before. :)

Ditto

The winds have been blowing this way for a while now, Marion is always in the conversation, but he's not the one that people mention first. I've heard the argument made (accurate or not) that he's not even the best defender on the Suns, Raja being seen as better.
