This is 100% unbiased in every single way: Ben Simmons is UNDOUBTEDLY the Defensive Player of the Year. Watching the Clippers-Jazz game right now and this is the only thing I can think about and it is infuriating. I will admit, Rudy is a big presence in the paint and can guard the rim and opposing centers fairly well. However, he could never guard a 1 or 2 guard. Ben Simmons is consistently defending the opposing team's best player and, almost every single game, is putting the CLAMPS on them.
Long story short, Ben's defense wins games. I do not believe Rudy's does. Comment below if you agree or disagree!
