The 2017-18 Defensive Player of the Year

This one was hard. You could argue Gobert could be the 3rd best center in the league ahead of the player I have next, but for now, I'll keep him at fourth. Gobert is the best defensive big man in the game and has improved tremendously since being a late first round pick in 2013.

He missed a significant part of the season last year, but once he returned Utah became one of the most dominant teams in the league. Last year he averaged 13.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game. He will once again be a favourite for the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
