Much appreciated, Cris! Given the relative lack of tools/stats available for evaluating players/assessing past voter behavior, I think tackling a similar project for DPOY would be a challenge. That having been said, we'll certainly consider doing it in the future.
Thanks for reading, Ed! I'll admit, I thought the same thing after Wilson was announced as DPOY. To be clear though, we didn't include the announcement of A'ja Wilson as DPOY in our analysis mostly because it was just too hard to quantify how that information would impact the MVP race.
I love this break down... would love to see something similar for DPOY - I'm always mystified at what factors drive the award.
