Wemby is all defensive 1st team. His DARKO D-DPM is insane (top 6 in league)and his defensive epm is 7th. His block to foul ratio is the best since Ben Wallace. He has only 9 games all season with 4+ fouls and as Nekias said he takes away a whole section of the court and the spurs are a top 7 defensive team when he is on the court.

My picks: - Wemby (DPOY) - Golbert (2nd place DPOY) - Jarret Allen - AD - Giannis You could swap Giannis for Chet, however I’d personally have Giannis as defender due to his physicality and skill set, despite Chet being a better shot blocker.

Not a fan, at all, of the 'positionless' idea for the awards. REALLY hard for a 'wing' (SF) to be NBA All-Defensive team member if it is positionless. They just aren't in a position to get blocks, steals, etc. nearly as frequently as the other positions.
Y'all gotta start giving my boy Isaac okoro some love for all defense. He's on the second best defensive team in the league and he guards the best player on the opposing team every game. #Cavs# Let em know!!
I wanna know why are these guys scared to admit wemby is one of the best defenders. Not claiming him as a lock is a really bad look. He has the casual stats, advanced stats, and the eye test over everyone. I feel like they want to be hipsters too hard and sound smart but come off ignorant. Don't tell me Suggs is a bigger lock than wemby lmfao jfc watch some games for once.
I love it, its like "yes minister" - we need to schedule the meeting, that schedules the meeting, for the commencement of the discussion for the beginning of the process of deciding the candidates for defensive team of the year.
Wild how JB, DWhite, and Jrue all have a case (not saying they’ll all get it, def one, I think probs DWhite will). Hope that perimeter defense pulls through for the playoffs
You can't ignore Victor and name 7 guys as locks. He's not #1 because Gobert has his team near the top. But Victor is not surrounded by Edwards and McDaniels. He's probably doing a better individual job even while carrying the load offensively with a top8 usage. There is no team in the league who plays against White, Holiday, Caruso and changes their scheme completely. But absolutely no team in the league plays their regular basketball against Wemby because his side of the field is discarded in every static possession. AD had a negative rating not so long ago and he's a lock? Give me a break. Rookie Wemby is already better than peak AD. Sorry if it hurts.
No hating stuff but he doesn’t play defense. Go watch him play and you’ll see that. 2 years ago, he was a good help defender but doesn’t even do that now.
@eagloo9929 that's true. Seems as if he doesn't put as much effort on that end as he used to. It's kind of like a Lebron scenario where he's in the middle of his prime bit decides to prioritize scoring and offense and no longer focuses as much on defense
I mean that’s great but he hasn’t been better this year than the other guy’s mentioned. Just because he makes a highlight block every once in a while that trends on social media doesn’t make him all-defense.
All them gotta be Wemby haters cuz ain’t no way you don’t put him in that lock convo… I understand the W/L for DPOY agree to disagree but to be a all defensive team the WINS MATTER???????
There s been no nationally televised game this year that Jokic had 29+ pts 7+ ast and the Nuggets where up 7 with 9±1 minutes left. So idk wtf JJ s talking about. And yes i checked all 12 nationally televised games this season that Jokic had at least 29-7
Rudy, AD, Herb, Shai and Wemby are locks for me. The rest you can argue, but those five have been the best defenders in Basketball alongside Chet who should also get in (I don’t know if they do positionless for All-Defense).
yes there is more difference between starter and bench because THJ for the year is 16/3/2 but in February is average is: 10/3/2 on 35%FG and 34%3P and in March is number are: 8/1.5/1.5 on 32%FG and 31%3P.

Bridges over KD? The nets completely suck at defense. The nets were top 5 with KD last year and they dropped to 25 The suns are top 12 this year and KD is a large part of it
Superstar partnerships don’t always come easy in the NBA. With two alpha personalities and different play styles, it can take time for players to gel on the court. But for the Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, their chemistry seems to be improving with each passing game.
If Wemby ain't in All-Defense I'm fighting everyone.

He has the casual stats, advanced stats, and the eye test over everyone. I feel like they want to be hipsters too hard and sound smart but come off ignorant. Don't tell me Suggs is a bigger lock than wemby lmfao jfc watch some games for once.
why do you even watch the show if all you do is hate
@@christroller360is he wrong here or r u just d*** munching
Wemby HAS to be all-defense. Just look at the defense on-off with him. LOCK IT IN
I feel like Mobley shoulda been all defensive 2nd team as a rookie, Wemby should def be at least 2nd team if not first
I love it, its like "yes minister" - we need to schedule the meeting, that schedules the meeting, for the commencement of the discussion for the beginning of the process of deciding the candidates for defensive team of the year.
Gotta be Wemby. He's got a DPOY case.
Nuggets KCP better end up on this list...........
Giannis is a lock for sure, look at the Bucks with and without him
Isaac Okoro is the next "Drew Holidy" when it comes to how underrated he is.
Lock for all D? Isaac Okoro. Always shut down against best non-center scorer.
Keegan Murray has been a great defender this year. Deserves some recognition.
Wild how JB, DWhite, and Jrue all have a case (not saying they’ll all get it, def one, I think probs DWhite will). Hope that perimeter defense pulls through for the playoffs
KCP needs recognition! AG should be a contender as well. Nuggs have such dominant clutch D because of AG, KCP and Watson
You can't ignore Victor and name 7 guys as locks. He's not #1 because Gobert has his team near the top. But Victor is not surrounded by Edwards and McDaniels. He's probably doing a better individual job even while carrying the load offensively with a top8 usage.
There is no team in the league who plays against White, Holiday, Caruso and changes their scheme completely.
But absolutely no team in the league plays their regular basketball against Wemby because his side of the field is discarded in every static possession.
AD had a negative rating not so long ago and he's a lock? Give me a break. Rookie Wemby is already better than peak AD. Sorry if it hurts.
No Giannis mention for all defense is actually crazy
No hating stuff but he doesn’t play defense. Go watch him play and you’ll see that. 2 years ago, he was a good help defender but doesn’t even do that now.
@jbreezy519 well he does get a block and a bjt over a steal per game
He isn’t that defender y’all think he is
Giannis isn’t as good on defense as he used to be
@eagloo9929 that's true. Seems as if he doesn't put as much effort on that end as he used to. It's kind of like a Lebron scenario where he's in the middle of his prime bit decides to prioritize scoring and offense and no longer focuses as much on defense
Ant definitely needs to be in one of the teams! One of the few stars that actually plays both sides of the ball
Ants made some strides but he’s still at best like the 3rd best defender on his own team, realistically he’s probably 5th or 6th
I mean that’s great but he hasn’t been better this year than the other guy’s mentioned. Just because he makes a highlight block every once in a while that trends on social media doesn’t make him all-defense.
@@ztlabraptor2114th best at best.
No mention of Giannis on All-Defense just goes to show how overlooked he is…
Nekias’ verbiage around 9:00 re: Wemby and AD was masterfully explained.
All them gotta be Wemby haters cuz ain’t no way you don’t put him in that lock convo… I understand the W/L for DPOY agree to disagree but to be a all defensive team the WINS MATTER???????
They been hating most of the season. Numbers wise he’s a lock
Before watching the video: herb is a lock and a definite lock for first team
Wemby should be defensive player of the year
Jaylen brown has been elite defensively
I think Brown and White are the two Celtics that will make all-defense
KCPPPPPPPPPPP
Jarret Allen and isaac okoro 🤷🏾♂️ need serious consideration
Being up shai name and and Jaylen Brown, for all defensive teams but not Giannis??
There s been no nationally televised game this year that Jokic had 29+ pts 7+ ast and the Nuggets where up 7 with 9±1 minutes left. So idk wtf JJ s talking about. And yes i checked all 12 nationally televised games this season that Jokic had at least 29-7
HERB 🌿 JONES THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN THE NBA. HE'S THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
KCP deserves all-defense team, he's incredible
Herbert. Keshawn. Jones.
Rudy, AD, Herb, Shai and Wemby are locks for me. The rest you can argue, but those five have been the best defenders in Basketball alongside Chet who should also get in (I don’t know if they do positionless for All-Defense).
D white
H jones
Ad
Wemby
Gobert
--
2nd team
Not all the way sure but Shai and Chet damn near gotta be there
Ps: Duncan mentioned Suggs
Good call
Jaylen brown needs some All-Defense love this year
Wemby better be all NBA defensive first team.
Derrick white is a lock!
Bam Adebayo retired or whaaa???
I just realize that you reach 1 mil sub. Congrats JJ!
Get this man JJ some schleep 😂 but gotta respect the grind!!
Thank you for speaking the truth on Hartenstein, JJ!
Dort gets no mention. I’d argue he’s a top 3 perimeter defender in the league
theres no arguing that brother hes top 2
yes there is more difference between starter and bench because THJ for the year is 16/3/2
but in February is average is:
10/3/2 on 35%FG and 34%3P
and in March is number are:
8/1.5/1.5 on 32%FG and 31%3P.
Not on HERB!! All defense!!!
Giannis locked First Team
He not
@JJRedick I would like to send my encouragement and appreciation for the great content. I've noticed that you have been very apologetic and a bit more cautious proceeding a less than desirable mainstream media outcome a few weeks back. I'm sure that you receive plenty of hate comments and I would like to give you and the crew your flowers. Best basketball analysis content out right now. Don't let the haters get to you
Congrats Knox!!
All D for me in the top 10 and somewhat has positions is Gobert, Wemby, Bam, AD, Bridges, White, Holiday, Suggs, SGA, Gordon
Giannis>Gordon
Bridges over KD?
The nets completely suck at defense.
The nets were top 5 with KD last year and they dropped to 25
The suns are top 12 this year and KD is a large part of it
Superstar partnerships don’t always come easy in the NBA.
With two alpha personalities and different play styles, it can take time for players to gel on the court.
But for the Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, their chemistry seems to be improving with each passing game.
