Dyson Daniels, Lu Dort, Draymond Green, Evan Mobley and Amen Thompson lead the All-Defensive First Team picks.

For the second year, the NBA employed “positionless” voting, asking voters to select the most deserving players, regardless of position.

He's not. Nobody is. Curry gave Thompson, who is already probably the best defender in the league not named Victor Wembanyama, a quick reality check with 31 points on 12-of-19 shooting in Game 1. He had 36 in Game 3 with Houston's entire defense chasing him in the absence of Jimmy Butler .

Amen Thompson took a major step forward in Year 2, and he's just one of the many talented players that make up the youth movement in H-Town.
