Anthony Davis is nowhere a DPOY

[Nike D'Antoni]

OK. Everytime he is on Jokic, it is automatic 2 for him. Unless it is Howard defending

[Bay Area Baller]

Not only that he has no body control. He is always hitting the floor after or during his shots. Not only that figures he just busted up his ankle. Figure it out and get some control.

He really has been crap defensively these playoffs.
Offensively, he's been great and his mid-range jumper has been really impressive, but defensively he has regressed tremendously. He's barely averaging a block per game these playoffs after getting 2.3 during the regular season.
And the 3.5 rebounds per game over the last two games speak for themselves.

his defense is his offense lmao

[lilteapot]

He's too light + weak to guard a good post scorer like Jokic effectively. That's why Dwight is a better option.

Also, on another note, WHY do people think AD is some elite post scorer? I had some dude on Twitter tell me he was a better post scorer than Duncan and Dirk. Like WTF is this shit?

[PP34Deuce]

Defensively he's more like a Kevin Garnett than Tim Duncan. He can anchor the paint as far as take away space and weakside blocks.

He's not Tim Duncan, who could defend 4s and 5's straight up and back to the basket.

If Anthony Davis didn't have such a huge responsiblity scoring 28-31PPG, you'd see the defense and rebounding numbers he regularly was doing.

LeBron has been better defensively than him. AD has had as many low IQ moments on defense as LeBron has had on offense.

He’s a very poor man’s Garnett defensively. Garnett dispatched the Lakers in 6 games anchoring some crazy good defense

Jokic has been eviscerating him this series. AD has been really good this season though.

With that being said, considering Kobe's selections in '06, '07, '10, '11, and '12, LeBron deserved first team this season for sure.
