Also shout out to D-White for making Second Team. Our boy balled out this year on both sides of the ball and deserves his flowers.
As expected. Wemby not only becomes the only Rookie ever to be named to NBA All-Defensive First Team, but the youngest player ever to make an All-NBA Defensive Team in general. Remarkable achievement for the French phenom tbh. Congrats to the kid. We’re damn lucky he’s a Spur.

Congrats to our boy Derrick as well!
That first team would be interesting to see actually play together
altho wemby benefitted from it, i think the concept of these positionless teams is ass
congrats to vic
first rookie to ever make the all defensive first team
5 other rookies had made second team, including timmy and admiral
For some reason one idiot didn't have him on first or second team.
In my opinion the "team" element of it is dumb and needs removed. It should just be "the best defensive players" and "the best players" and "the best rookies"
Well he deserves it, but lucky they changed the format to allow multiple big men instead of requiring guards and small forwards or he would have been second team all defense. The voters couldn't pick Gobert as the top defensive player and not have him on first team all defense. So but for the change, Wemby would've been a 2nd teamer.
Not sure if he really benefited, per se. The previous format was 2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center, so I'm pretty sure they would have forced him in at one of the forward spots especially since he started the year at PF and is capable of playing like a forward. NBA.com also lists him as a Forward-Center.
By virtue of finishing 2nd in DPOY voting, I think they would have forced him on First Team regardless...but I guess we've seen weird things like Marc Gasol actually WINNING DPOY in 2013 and still ending up 2nd team somehow.
You never know, Bill Russell won MVP three times while only being named All NBA Second Team
Dejounte tweeted :fireemoji::fireemoji::fireemoji::fireemoji::firee moji::fireemoji: in a quote tweet of the announcement
Why not just post the tweet tbh
Dejounte wants to come back to SA so bad tbh. Don’t think it’s gonna happen, but I’m confident he wants it.
work pc
considering gobert was unanimous first team, im saying wemby would have been 2nd team center instead of 1st teamer. wemby played majority of his minutes/games at center
one person left wemby off the ballot entirely. has to be the same moron who put sabonis on the first team
Some weed in SAC has been giving Sabonis first place votes for every award this season.
I'm gonna be really annoyed when Sabonis makes 3rd team over Wemby
