The Boston Celtics were well-represented when the NBA announced the All-Defensive Teams for the 2021-22 season. Both Marcus Smart and Robert Williams III were named to the All-Defensive Teams.
Smart was named to the All-Defensive First Team, as he garnered 99 first-team votes. Williams was named to the All-Defensive Second Team, as he received three first-team votes and 64 second-team votes.
For Smart, the newly-minted 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year, this was his third time being named to the All-Defensive team. All three times, Smart was named to the All-Defensive First Team.
This is Williams’ first nod for All-Defensive team honors.
