What promotions did Minnesota have for Gobert for DPOY?
Want to compare their campaign, vs. the Jazz former ones.

Rudy Gobert is the Worst Defensive Player Of The Year In Sports.
Nobody cares if Gobert looks better, guarding someone else.Put someone else on Jokic and have Gobert defend someone else and the paint and he’ll look a lot better.
I'm not sure using Jerry Sloan as a positive example is always a good thing. His teams seemed to foul too much in the playoffs, and give up too many 3's. You don't want no fouls, and you don't want too many fouls. You want to play defense without fouling, but then commit fouls to prevent easy and-one's.Jerry Sloan used to always try to contain Jordan or someone who’s scoring a lot but stop everyone else.
The other is to let the opposing player get his, but shut down everyone else.
But there's also a threshold where letting the opposing player score too efficiently is worse. If he's shooting 60%+, and on pace to average 40 points, then you can't let him get his.Rather than everyone else doing their job and Gobert getting scored on but ignored since they won.

Because it's unlikely your team will shoot that efficiently.
There is also the scenario where everyone else does their job, Gobert gets scored on, and blamed, because Minnesota loses.
Jokic shot 68%. You can't let him shoot that efficiently either. Both the 13 assists, and the 68% FG, hurt.
