MVP Ratings - Defense

I find it more difficult to put a value on a defensive player. Like my offensive ratings, these rankings are not meant to be definitive. I don't expect my top ranked player to be the best player of the year but you will definitely find that player somewhere near the top of my list.

Here are the top ranked players on defense.
