Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo received just one second-team vote and four third-team votes. Adebayo was one of 10 players to receive votes without being named to an All-NBA team.
Adebayo shined defensively as well. He averaged 1.1 steals and led the Heat with 0.9 blocks. Adebayo was named to his first All-Defensive first team and finished third in the Defensive Player of the Year voting. Rudy Gobert was the center who finished closest to making an All-NBA team. Gobert won his fourth career Defensive Player of the Year award while leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to the NBA’s best regular-season defense.
Gobert had Adebayo beat defensively though. Gobert averaged 2.1 blocks and 12.9 rebounds. Gobert’s defense also translated to the Timberwolves having the best defensive rating and third-best net rating in the league. The Heat were fifth and seventeenth respectively in those categories.
