Boston Celtics’ guard Marcus Sensible, who received the 2021-22 Defensive Participant of the Yr award, led all voters with 99 out of 100 first-team votes.

One voter conspicuously didn’t vote for Sensible for both the primary or second-team.

Phoenix Suns’ ahead Mikal Bridges, Milwaukee Bucks’ ahead/middle Giannis Antetokounmpo, Utah Jazz’ middle Rudy Gobert, and Memphis Grizzlies’ ahead Jaren Jackson Jr. unsurprisingly rounded out the primary workforce.

Bridges got here in second place in 2021-22 Defensive Participant of the Yr voting.

Giannis Antetokounmpo received the Defensive Participant of the Yr award in 2020.

Rudy Gobert is a three-time Defensive Participant of the Yr.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is a flexible three-level defender who will doubtless be a candidate for Defensive Participant of the Yr sooner or later.

The Celtics and Bucks every added an All-Defensive workforce member through the second-team; the previous with Robert Williams III and the latter with Jrue Vacation.
