Nice! Well-deserved, Mr. Wall.

Also, it seems like there isn't a discernible drop-off from the 1st team to the 2nd team defense.

According to the defensive impact part of PPA, Wall would just miss:

Guards
  1. Tony Allen
  2. Danny Green (b-r says he played 54% of his minutes at SG this season)
  3. Stephen Curry
  4. Russell Westbrook

Butler and Wall were effectively tied for 5th in my stuff. Push Green to SF, and it would be either Wall or Butler on 2nd team.

Forwards
  1. Kawhi Leonard
  2. Anthony Davis
  3. Nerlens Noel
  4. Tim Duncan

Draymond Green was next on the list.

Centers
  1. DeAndre Jordan
  2. Rudy Gobert

In my analysis, Bogut's defensive impact dropped when he returned from his injury.

Agreed. Butler, Davis, Bogut, and Duncan = good company (if a little big man-heavy).

Naturally, Danny Green feels snubbed.

Gobert is more deserving of being on the team than Davis is.

Green at forward wouldn't make first or second team.
