All NBA defensive team places Defensive Player Of The Year Marc Gasol second team

Yes, it's similar to our Texas High School All-State teams. We have an early team voted on by sportswriters that only includes performance through the regular season and then later we have the coaches team that encompasses the whole season including playoffs. I personally put more stock in the coaches team selections, but the sportswriters certainly give us insight and recognition to other deserving athletes that may not be fortunate enough to be on a playoff team.
