The three finalists for the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year award -- Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green -- were among the 10 players named to the NBA's All-Defensive teams Monday night.
Gobert, who claimed his third Defensive Player of the Year award last week, and Simmons, who finished second, were the only two players who were named to all 100 ballots by the global panel of sportswriters asked to vote on each of the league's individual season-long awards.
