Nah.

DFS is a good defender. A very hard working defender who has some great nights. But he is not an elite defender IMO.

I know it’s a hot take on a Mavs message board, but I think too many Mavs fans compare him against his teammates and think elite defender. In that sense, they are right. I’m not so sure when comparing him with the league though. If he is on that level, don’t forget, league recognition awards start coming after a player starts getting league recognition for that category. If he has gotten to that point this year, he might start building that up for a placement next year. This is the case for most players to knock guys off the list 90% of the time.
