What needs to happen for Nic Claxton to win Defensive Player of the Year?

The Locked on Nets guys take a look at the growth and improvement from Nic Claxton over the last couple of seasons and dive into what that could mean for him this year. He finished 9th in Defensive Player of the Year voting last year but was as high as 3rd in odds at one point.

How high could he climb this time around and what needs to happen to really put him in consideration? It will involve more than just his play but the Nets are set up well to be a good defensive team this season. He was among the league leaders in blocks last year and has the counting stats to back up a case. But will the Nets actually be good enough to push him into real consideration?
