San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard was the lone unanimous selection to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team, the league announced on Wednesday via official release.

Leonard, who also took home Defensive Player of the Year honors, is joined on the First Team by the Warriors' Draymond Green, DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, Avery Bradley of the Celtics, and the Clippers' Chris Paul. 

The Second Team is made up of the Hawks' Paul Millsap, Paul George of the Pacers, Hassan Whiteside of the Heat, Tony Allen of the Grizzlies, and the Bulls' Jimmy Butler. 

Voters were asked to select two guards, two forwards and one center for each team, and to choose players at the position they regularly play.  Players who received votes at multiple positions were placed at the position where they received the most votes.
