5 Defenders - The BCL Defensive Player of the Year


The end of the Regular Season always sharpens the debate for end of season awards.

Now, of course, we don't actually have an official award for Defensive Player of the Year, so debating over who should win an award that doesn't exist is probably a bit like arguing about whether a hotdog is or isn't a sandwich, or if it would be easier to fight one horse-sized duck or one hundred duck-sized horses - completely pointless.

But pointless debates are the best ones anyway, so let's do this.
