Former Alabama Crimson Tide menβs basketball star Herbert Jones finished fifth in the Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year voting according to an NBA press release.
Jones is best known for his uncanny ability to guard all five positions for the New Orleans Pelicans and is widely regarded as the best perimeter defender in the NBA.
Each player who finished ahead of Jones in the voting is a 7-foot rim protector which allows them to collect gawdy stats. Jones on the other hand is required to defend multiple positions and match up against his opponentβs best player more times than not.
Congratulations to Herb on his incredible achievements in the NBA.
