The NBA All-Defense teams were announced Tuesday, with Victor Wembanyama becoming the first rookie to make First Team All-Defense in league history.
Victor Wembanyama's latest accolade was like none other. The San Antonio forward has become the first player in NBA history to make the league's All-Defensive first team as a rookie. The league announced the teams on Tuesday, and Wembanyama appeared on 98 of the 99 ballots cast. Defensive player of the year Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves headlined the team and was the only unanimous selection.
It was Gobert's seventh All-Defense pick, all of them as a member of the first team. Davis is now a five-time All-Defense player, and a three-time first-team selection. Adebayo made All-Defense for the fifth time, and his first as a member of the first team. Jones made the team for the first time. Wembanyama is now the sixth rookie in NBA history to make the All-Defensive Team — with the other five all earning second-team nods in their first seasons.
