Draymond Green Named to 2022-23 NBA All-Defensive Second Team

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been named to the 2022-23 NBA All-Defensive Second Team, the league announced today.

Green posted regular season averages of 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.01 steals and 31.5 minutes in 73 games (all starts). The forward has been named to the All-Defensive Team in eight of the last nine seasons, earning First Team honors four times (2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2020-21) and Second Team four times (2017-18, 2018-19, 2021-22, 2022-23). Green’s eight All-Defensive Team selections are tied for 13^th most in NBA history, and he becomes the fifth player in NBA history drafted in the second round-or-later to earn eight-or-more All-Defensive Team honors.

The 2022-23 Kia NBA All-Defensive Team was selected by a global panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters.  Players were awarded two points for each vote to the NBA All-Defensive First Team and one point for each vote to the Second Team.  Voters selected two guards, two forwards and one center for each team, choosing players at the position they play regularly.  Players who received votes at multiple positions were slotted at the position at which they received the most voting points.
