Cleveland Cavaliers forward-center Evan Mobley, the 2024-25 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, headlined the league’s All-Defensive First Team, announced Thursday.
He is joined by Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort, Golden State Warriors forward-center Draymond Green and guard-forward Amen Thompson of the Houston Rockets.
This was the second first-team selection for Mobley, the fifth for Green, and the first for Daniels, Dort and Thompson.
Green also has been named to the second team four times.
This season’s All-Defensive Second Team is made up of Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara, Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert, Memphis Grizzlies forward-center Jaren Jackson Jr., Thunder guard-forward Jalen Williams and Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac.
This is the eighth All-Defensive Team selection for Gobert and the third for Jackson, with the other three making their first appearance on the list.
Mobley was the leading vote-getter, being named to the first team on 99 of 100 ballots.
