Dwight Howard on Rudy Gobert: ‘I don’t think he deserved those Defensive Player of the Years like he got them’

One of those who parrot this notion is a former multiple-time DPOY in his own right, Dwight Howard, as he believes that Gobert did not deserve to win the prestigious award as many times as he has. “I don’t think he deserved those Defensive Player of the Years like he got them. I feel like he’s a great team defender but for what he did to get those Defensive Player of the Years, I don’t see it. I don’t see him being an elite defender,” Howard said in an appearance on Gil’s Arena.
