Where is alvarado on a per game basis?
I still can't believe how much of a steal alvarado is.

Should be a legit candidate for ROTY

What other rookie is a starter for a team that is at least going into the play in game, who defends every teams best perimeter player every single night?
They will probably give it to Evan Mobley or Cade Cunningham, but you could easily make the argument that Herb means more to his team now than they do.

There’s no way OP statement should ever be followed by but. This is straight awesome.
(I know yours isn’t a negative statement)

Offensive numbers get more attention than defensive numbers.
He may get some 3rd place ROTY votes but is more likely to get All Defense and All Rookie votes.

1st team all defense numbers right there. We will see how the NBA fricks him tho out of his honor that he earned.

This guy at basketballnews.com likes Herb on the second team. Don't really know the writer or the site, but cool to see Herb get his shine. LINK

Herb Jones
Hebert. Freakin'. Jones.
Where do I even begin with him? What this guy is doing, and has done all season, is just absurd — rookie or not.
He stood out at NBA Summer League. He stood out in the preseason. He earned a starting position early. From the first tip of his pro minutes, Jones has brought the heat. Whether it's the third-string point guard or Zach LaVine (the first Chicago matchup was amazing), Herb is locked in.
I'd argue he's the best screen navigator in the league who's not a guard. His functional strength when stopping the ball can be overpowering. His length and timing on contests is immaculate. He's fantastic rotationally as well, rotating off the weak corner and blowing plays up in the paint. He may as well be a barbed-wire fence when he's at the nail, because good lord, I wouldn't have any interest dribbling in his direction. He knifes the ball like a spear-fisher.
To bring up intensity and "never giving up on a play" sounds cliche, but Herb epitomizes that with his play. Watching opposing players encounter his defense for the first time this season has been one of my guilty pleasures. This will not be his last All-Defensive team.
