It's Friday. Let's move on. Time for the futures market, folks. This week we'll be taking our look at the Defensive Player of the Year PROPS. Very fascinating market because there's a ton of momentum behind Rudy Gobert. He's the leader

in the clubhouse at plus two hundred. There's a reason for that, and that is because, like I said before, the Minnesota Timberwolves are incredible on defense, number one in defense in the league first quarter of the season, and it's very hard to not see Rudy Gobert winning it again. And he's already wonted a million times. It kind of feels like we should just give it to him every single year. But a lot can happen here the rest of the contenders right now. Anthony Davis, that was my

pick plus six hundred. Evan Mobley nine to one, bam Adebayo fifteen to one, Jaron Jackson fifteen to one, wolf Brook Lopez fifteen to one. He'll get some steam late in the season. Chat Holmgren eighteen to one, Jannis twenty to one, Drew Holiday twenty to one. How is he not won one already? Victor Webbin Yama twenty five to one OGN and OB twenty five to one, MB two

twenty five to one. So even though Rudy is a runaway favorite for a reason and I think he'll probably win, I still think there's some value on the board here. Let's start with Bam out of Bayo. Bam is having an incredible defensive year for the Heat, and I don't think it's really being talked about enough. One of the major reasons that the Heat are having a better season than a lot of people, including myself, thought that they

would is Bam. He's averaging twenty one to nine to four with one point one blocks and steals per game. He is one of the top rim protectors in the league. Holds players to point two points per play in isolation. That is fucking ridiculous. Point two per play in ISO. You're not getting past that man. Another player I like on the board is also Chet Holmgren, a rookie winning defensive Player of the Year. Get the fuck out except for his defense is elite. How many fucking blocks did

yeah last night? Five? Five blocks. He's averaging two point four blocks and one point one steals per game. He's seven feet tall and one hundred eighty pounds, soaking wet, and he's still picking your fucking pockets. Two offensive boards. His rim protection is elites. He's had five games this year with four or more blocks, and he actually disrupts the flow of opponents games. If the Thunder continue to win and Check continues to ball out like this, he could steal the award from oh monfre Rudy
