Not that there weren’t some writers that had a… different opinion on the matter!
The previous winner of the award, CSKA Moscow’s Kyle Hines, was picked twice (2), while his two-time predecessor, Anadolu Efes’s Bryant Dunston, followed one vote. As many as Crvena Zvezda guard Charles Jenkins.
What do you think?

Fenerbahce’s 30-year-old American power forward/center is a… source of terror in both keys, doing his piece in offense with ease and with even more ease in defense, where he has already equaled the best ever record (his own from last year) of 61 blocks in a season.
Kyle Hines (CSKA Moscow): 2 votes
8.3 pts | 4.2 rbs | 0.6 as | 0.8 st | 0.5 bl | 1.4 to | 20:13 min | 9.8 PIR
The 31-year-old American… pocket-sized center started the season as the current holder of this award and he has helped CSKA Moscow considerably in this department, even if he’s declined in almost all averages.
Bryant Dunston (Anadolu Efes Istanbul): 1 vote
10.7 pts | 6.2 rbs | 1.1 as | 0.6 st | 1.1 bl | 0.9 to | 28:57 min | 14.6 PIR
Anadolu Efes’s 31-year-old American center finished the season with the highest average of points and rebounds in his career, but he has established himself in the EuroLeague as the only player aside from Dimitris Diamantidis (6) who has more than one Best Defender awards (2014 & 2015).
Charles Jenkins (Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade): 1 vote
9.4 pts | 1.9 rbs | 2.7 as | 2.1 st | 0.1 bl | 1.1 to | 26:05 min | 9.5 PIR
The 28-year-old American point guard did everything in Crvena Zvezda’s incomplete effort to reach the playoffs and he managed to finish the season with the highest average of steals.
