Everyone always pays attention to the players that can score, but let’s take a look at some of the Defensive Player of the Year candidates in the NBA.

1. Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic
Based on statistics alone, it’d be hard to give the 2008-09 NBA Defense Player of the Year trophy to anyone other than Howard. He’s not only leading the league in rebounding at over 14 boards per game, he’s far and away leading the NBA in blocked shots. Although not a great one-on-one defender, his stats don’t lie.
