[Lewenberg] Nick Nurse on O.G. Anunoby’s case for NBA All-D: “I’m not sure who’s as versatile, period. And who’s as effective, even on the winning teams. He’s certainly an all-defensive team player in my mind, for sure, if not the winner of the [DPOY] award.”

definitely not getting DPOY but I’m hoping he can squeeze in if Raptors finish the regular season on a good note.
edit: just looked at previous results it’s 2 guard spots. 2 forward spots. and 1 center.
so I think JJJ and Mobley will take the forward spots. OG on second team maybe
Our Players won’t be winning accolades until we actually start winning games smh
“Even on the winning teams”
> even on the winning teams
Nick is Team Tank confirmed
Just for some context on the difficulty of winning DPOY while playing on a team with a losing record: David Robinson is the only DPOY winner in NBA history to win the award on a sub-.500 team. He earned it in 1986 when the Spurs went 35-47.
Mark Eaton won it in ’85 for the 41-41 Utah Jazz.
