Joining Wembanyama on the first team were Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren, Detroit Pistons guard Ausar Thompson, Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert and Boston Celtics guard Derrick White.

Well deserved.

D-White is the most under appreciated Celtic. Can?t believe people want to trade him.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Good for White!

So much for the narrative that his quickness/defense declined this year.

His best defensive year so far!

He's somehow super-beloved, yet still underrated. I'm not sure many people know just how important he is to our team, even when he's missing 3s. His impact goes unnoticed to a lot of fans, but I can't imagine Brad would trade him unless it's for a massive haul. Like a Steph Castle or Franz Wagner level player or a top 3 pick in this draft

I don't know ... I don't think D White deserves the 1st team selection. I feel like he is getting this accolade based on past reputation.

Watching this OKC vs SAS game right now, I would have both S Castle and A Caruso ahead of D White defensively. Cason Wallace as well. Now these are some of the finest defensive guards in the league. It is not normal to have so many gifted defensive guards on the court all the same time. Just happenstance.

That said, I feel like some other guys aren't getting the credit they deserve here. That they are getting overlooked in favour of D White. I'd have D White as a 2nd team candidate but it would be a close call whether he'd make it or not.
