Rudy Gobert is the current +400 favorite to be named NBA Defensive Player of the Year. He has won the award three times from 2018 to 2021. Gobert finished third last year, but he still has a chance to win. He is expected to play a key role in the Timberwolves' frontcourt.
Mikal Bridges finished second in the NBA DPOY voting to Smart. He was named first-team All-Defensive for the first time in his career. He accounted for 3.7 defensive win shares last season. The Philadelphia native is a good pick for NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2023.
Ben Simmons hasn't played a game since the 2020-21 NBA postseason. He is a two-time All-Defensive recipient and the NBA's steal leader in 2020. Playing for the Brooklyn Nets should help him in his DPOY pursuit. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are the top scoring options in Brooklyn. Seth Curry and Joe Harris will provide secondary support.
