Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green headline NBA All-Defensive Team
San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard is the headliner of this year’s NBA All-Defensive First Team.
Leonard, who won his second straight Defensive Player of the Year award this season, was a unanimous selection to the First team, receiving a first-team selection from all 130 voters. Second in voting was the Warriors’ Draymond Green, who received 123 first-team votes.
The second team was made up of some of the game’s big names, including Bulls guard Jimmy Butler, tenacious defender Tony Allen, and the 2015–16 season leader in blocks, Hassan Whiteside.
