2016 Best Defensive Player
So who do you think will be up for for the "Damian Martin Trophy" this season?
Martin is still close to the best defensive player in the league, but after missing so many games, and being hampered in others, you have to wonder if he can still pull it off.
Presumably Ogilvy and Lisch have to be in strong contention.
Part of it is that, apart from the obvious, I'm not sure what they consider to be "defensive."
Ogilvy gets a lot of blocks, steals, & D/R's but he also fouls a lot in the process. So is that good (or clumsy) defence? He also doesn't "protect" the ball well, committing a lot of turnovers. Does that count against him?
Similarly with someone like Cedric Jackson.
