2nd when he shouldn't, and will push him into a position to win it next year when the voter fatigue for Rudy reaches a higher level after he wins his 3rd.

Sixers' Athletic writer puts together article trying to outline Simmons' DPOY

If Simmons wins it's the fatigue factor, much the way LeBron has fewer MVPs...

I could definitely see that.

EtTuKalante

Fair, but something those numbers don’t reflect is that Simmons always* guards their opponent’s best player

Right. Always. Except for the times when he guards opposing centers,

As Giannis said, I'd rather be guarded by Simmons than Embiid.

He guarded Zion the majority of the time on April 9th when they played

When Zion had 37/15/8? Good strategy there, Doc.

Like 26/10/5 when they beat the Jazz? How? The Jazz have the best defensive

You do understand what Rudy actually does right?

You do understand the Nuggets abused him in the playoffs series? Or do you need

Do you understand that anecdotes are data points, not conclusive?

EtTuKalante

Here maybe you can learn

And if I was interested in how DeMarcus Cousins played against the Nuggets...

EtTuKalante

Well if Rudy got exposed by Denver we can only imagine what would happen vs lets

LakeshowCougs

Okay Skip. And Zack Wilson sucks because he lost at Coastal Carolina

EtTuKalante

37/15/8 is "like" 26/10/5 in the same way my face is "like" Brad Pitt's.

And he got torched.

I only caught the 4th quarter, where it wasn’t Simmons guarding him

DieHarder

Just give him DPOY....who cares.

WJCougar

4/14/21 2:58pm

That is an objective take. Rudy is still DPOY. Simmons is a great defender but

LakeshowCougs

4/14/21 3:00pm

Nothing objective....just not a big deal.

WJCougar

4/14/21 3:03pm

Agreed
