All-Defensive Teams Announced: Who Made the Cut and Who Was Snubbed?

Jaden McDaniels, a forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves, was not selected for the NBA's All-Defensive teams despite being one of the league's most versatile and unique defenders. McDaniels led all wings in block rate, dropped opponents’ expected shooting at the rim by 7 percent, and spent the most time guarding All-Star players of any defender in the league. He finished a distant sixth among forwards, 41 points behind Toronto’s OG Anunoby, who was the last of four forwards to make the two teams. McDaniels took the snub in stride and plans to use it as motivation to improve his game in the offseason.
