Is Gabby Williams Going to Win Defensive Player of the Year? | Podhalla

In this clip from Podhalla — the Golden State Valkyries podcast on BSPN — Garrett Gonzales, Brian Gonzales, and Conrado Pascual dig into the 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year odds and whether Gabby Williams is going to bring the award home.

Williams is the betting favorite at -125 (about a 56% implied chance), having passed three-time winner A'ja Wilson (+175) for the top spot heading into the stretch run. Shakira Austin (+550) and Angel Reese (+1000) round out the other live contenders. The case for Williams: the Valkyries own the league's best defensive rating by a wide margin, and she's been their top perimeter stopper all year.

The hosts break down her case against Wilson's resume and discuss whether voters reward a wing defender on the league's best defense over a dominant, decorated post player.
