Marc Gasol has won the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award, in a triumph for both the Memphis Grizzlies center, and voters who wanted to get this one right. Like Tyson Chandler’s DPoY award win from 2011-12, the top vote-getter did not rank amongst the league leaders in blocks and rebounds, as his impact was mostly felt from possession to possession as Gasol consistently chased all manner of guards and forwards, while dominating his man in the pivot most nights out.
