The NBA just announced that Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo made the NBA All-Defensive First Team, the first of his career.
For anyone who paid attention to the Pacers this year, this wasn’t a surprise. It was expected as Oladipo led the NBA in steals during the regular season with 2.4 a game.
Along with Oladipo, Rudy Gobert, Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday, and Robert Covington were named to the First Team while Joel Embiid, Draymond Green, Al Horford, Dejounte Murray, and Jimmy Butler earned spots on the Second Team.
