not sure this is the first or second year of position less all- defensive team.

Such a shame OG Anunoby didn't play enough games. He's first team level for sure and close to DPOY

They either need to go back to positions or change the name. It can't be called first "team" anymore if we are going to have it positionless. Maybe "NBA All Defensive First Round" or something along those lines.

I guess position don't matter anymore...

[JKiddy]

So Claxton, a Top 4 defensive player in the league is on neither team?

GTFOOH!

because changing a name changes everything. we could also just leave it that way.

1- gaurd and 4 bigs... Yup that's definitely an "Team"

[Cassius]

For everyone complaining about positions, the first team would be a holy terror to try to score against:

PG - Herb
SG - Vic
SF - Bam
PF - AD
C - Rudy

Herb - Jones at the point of attack is no fun for any point guard. I can't think of a point guard besides Luka who wouldn't have a problem with that matchup. Maybe Lamelo?

Vic - No explanation needed

Bam - Aside from KD and Tatum, which other SFs have the range and speed to make Bam uncomfortable in an iso? Plus, he's the best at switching onto guards in PnR... maybe OG is better but that's about it.

AD - His ideal defensive position

Rudy - DPOY
