In an interview with Chris Haynes, Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis set a number of goals for both himself and the Lakers team as a whole. One of these was his desire to win the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
Now, this isn’t a completely erroneous statement, as Davis is already one of the league’s best big man defenders, but he’s going to have some stiff competition.
As of right now, there are a number of DPOY candidates, such as recent MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Myles Turner, Paul George, and Joel Embiid.
