Tim Duncan leads the Spurs at #2, followed by Dennis Rodman (#7), David Robinson (#11), and Kawhi Leonard (#12). Duncan, despite never winning a Defensive Player of the Year award, holds the record for All-Defensive selections, while Rodman is recognized for his rebounding prowess. Newcomer Victor Wembanyama (#36), having just earned a unanimous DPOY, is expected to rise in the rankings.
