Chicago Sky center Sylvia Fowles was named the 2011 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, the league announced today. Fowles received 19 out of 40 votes, one more than the runner-up, Indiana Fever forward and four-time Defensive Player of the Year Tamika Catchings (18). Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles (2) and Sky guard Epiphanny Prince (1) received the remaining votes.

From WNBA.com: Sylvia Fowles Named 2011 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. Richard and I quickly settled on Fowles as the choice for DPOY, though Catchings was obviously deserving. My/our thoughts on Fowles and other candidates here, but who was your pick and why?
