The NBA released the Kia NBA All-Defensive First and Second teams, and one Boston Celtic starting guard made the cut. Derrick White, an iron man who played all 82 games with lockdown defense, earned a nice $250,000 bonus by being named to All-Defensive Second Team in one of the guard spots next to O.G. Anunoby. Marcus Smart, last year’s Defensive Player of the Year and First Team member didn’t qualify for either team this year.
