Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace named to 2025-26 NBA All-Defense Teams

At the top of about every defense metric, it shouldn't be a shocker to see the Oklahoma City Thunder have multiple entrants on this year's All-Defensive Teams. In fact, it was probably one of the easier predictions to make if you followed the NBA at any level. Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace both made one of the two 2025-26 All-Defense Teams.

Holmgren made the First Team while Wallace made the Second Team. The All-Defense First Team was made up of Holmgren, Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, Ausar Thompson and Derrick White. The All-Defense Second Team had Wallace, Scottie Barnes, Bam Adebayo, Dyson Daniels and OG Anunoby.

Holmgren finished with the second-most votes. He had 93 first-place votes and nine second-place votes. Wallace finished seventh in voting with 14 first-place votes and 66 second-place votes.

The Thunder had two more players receive votes. Lu Dort had one first-place vote and 10 second-place votes. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had one second-place vote.
