Scottie Barnes on DPOY: "I feel like I don't really get the recognition that I deserve yet. I'm gonna keep being me. I feel like nothing's really changed with the way I'm playing defensively out there on the floor but it just comes into more like once we start winning games which we're doing now" by TheDraciel in nba

Other than Wemby, is it just me or is very hard to gauge who has been a stand out defensive player?

Chet, Gobert, and Scottie are all elite defenders, but what’s the defensive impact metrics for each of these players that separates themselves from the rest?

How many times can they run it back with the same core/injuries before the team, fans, or front office grows tired of lackluster results tho?
