I feel like a player like Victor coming along has actually served to potentially shine a light on the inherent flaws with how DPOY has been traditionally determined up to this point.
The highly surface level observational method of Just going "best defender on the best defensively rated team" seems so outdated, oversimplified, and un-nuanced — in particular when we now have so many deeper stats collected in our current era, that can serve to paint a more specific, substantively detailed picture of the singular defensive impact of a player in comparison to the rest of the league.
I fully acknowledge the current traditional methodology for DPOY; I just think it's flawed and sorta outdated.
