On today's episode of the Premium Hoops Podcast, Sam Quinn joins to discuss small-market team building! Sam is an NBA writer for CBS Sports and he writes some really insightful stuff and is a great follow on Twitter. After a recent discussion Sam and I had on Utah's current roster, we decided to come together and talk about how small-markets can successfully build. We had some great discourse and came to similar conclusions, albeit with different ideologies. Overall just a really fun pod on front office theory!

Enjoy the pod!

On today's episode of Premium Hoops, we dive into the Defensive Player of the Year award as well as our All-Defensive Teams. We were fortunate to be joined by Jackson Frank. He does some phenomenal work over at The Step Back, Dime Uproxx, and on his own Patreon channel. You can follow Jackson on Twitter here.

We start off by talking about our DPOY honorable mentions and then jump into our top 3 picks on the ballot. We actually had quite a bit of discourse on our top picks, but all agreed that very little separated the three.

After deciding on the DPOY award, we transitioned into our All-Defensive Teams. While our top 8-9 players were pretty clear-cut, we talked about and debated roughly 10 other players we all felt deserved consideration for our final spot. We then transition into talking about up and coming players who we think have the potential to win Defensive Player of the Year someday and make many All-Defensive Teams. Lastly, we debate whether or not we think a guard will have a chance to win DPOY in the next 15 years. Gary Payton was the last guard to win the award in 1996, and only two non-bigs have won it since 2000; Kawhi Leonard (twice) and Ron Artest.

This podcast was a ton of fun to record. NBA defense is difficult to gauge largely, as there are many contrasting ideas about what quantifies as "good defense."

On today's episode of the Premium Hoops podcast, we debate the first half of the 2019-20 NBA Awards.

We normally have very similar ideas, but today, we had by far our most discourse! While Giannis and LeBron were clearly above the rest, how did we fill out our MVP ballots?

Did Dennis Schroder deserve the Sixth Man award over Lou Williams & Montrezl Harrell? Is Goran Dragic going undernoticed?

During our All-NBA discussion is where we had the most discourse!

Enjoy the pod and check back for part 2 of the 2019-20 NBA Awards on Friday!
