Rudy Gobert is on his way to a third DPOY

A lot has changed in the world over the last couple of years. One thing that hasn’t changed, and remains as constant as ever, is Rudy Gobert being in the running for the Defensive Player of the Year.

It’s 2021, and regarding dominant defense bigs in the NBA, Gobert remains a top his throne. Approaching the end of the first quarter of the 2020-2021 NBA season, Bleacher Report put together their top 3 candidates for major NBA awards, and it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to see that Rudy is on their list for DPOY.
