This marks the second time in his three-year NBA career that Wembanyama has achieved this honor, following his selection as the Defensive Player of the Year earlier this season.

Wembanyama’s defensive prowess was recognized by all 100 first-team ballots, underscoring his impact on the game and solidifying his reputation as a formidable force in the league. His selection was announced on Friday night, alongside other top defenders in the league.

First Team Selections

Joining Wembanyama on the first team are Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren, Detroit’s Ausar Thompson, Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert, and Boston’s Derrick White. Gobert, a seasoned veteran, has now been selected for the All-Defensive team nine times, while Holmgren, Thompson, and White are first-time honorees.

The second team features Toronto’s Scottie Barnes, Oklahoma City’s Cason Wallace, Miami’s Bam Adebayo, New York’s OG Anunoby, and Atlanta’s Dyson Daniels. Notably, Gobert and Daniels are the only players to have made the All-Defensive team in each of the last two seasons.
