Rudy Gobert has been DPOY level this season

The Wolves started shaky, but they’ve climbed back to top-5 in the west — and the constant is still Rudy Gobert anchoring everything on defense. Per Cleaning the Glass on/off + shot-profile tracking, Gobert’s impact this year has been absurd: the defense improves by roughly 14 points per 100 with him on the floor, opponents take way fewer rim attempts when he’s out there, their efficiency drops, and he’s even suppressing free throws — plus his rebounding has ramped up in December. He’s 33, still vacuuming boards, still erasing the paint, still making Minnesota’s entire scheme viable — all while the DPOY conversation about him feels weirdly quiet. Are people just tired of giving him credit? #NBA #Timberwolves #RudyGobert #DPOY #Defense #NBAStats #BasketballTalk
