The ultimate evidence that the Bucks need Embiid (tho' I will be shocked if Cleveland passes). Not one single Buck on the list of approx. 65 players.
Have to believe that Sanders would have been there if he weren't busy being Larry Sanders off the court too.

The Bucks defense is not their problem.

I would say it is some combination of offense, defense, coaching and talent level.

I thought the crux of their problem is the venue they are forced to slave away in.
Paul George makes the first team...and Lebron James the second?
OOOOOOKKKKKAAAAYYYY.....
Four of the top 13 players receiving votes for NBA All-Defensive are Illinois prep players:
Andre Igoudala - Springfield
Patrick Beverely - Chicago
Anthony Davis - Chicago
Tony Allen - Chicago
Further proof of the absolute importance in recruiting Illinois well.

Uhhh...? LeBron was out of the top 20 in Defensive Win Shares in the NBA this year, while Paul George was second. So the only thing wrong with that decision may voting LeBron James too high.

(Defensive Win Shares is on the far right, second from the bottom)
Edit: more defensive stats for the 2: neither in the top 20 in defensive or total rebounds, George tied for 3rd in steals, LeBron tied for 14th in steals, neither in the top 20 in blocks, neither in the top 20 in defensive or total rebound %, George 8th in steal % James not in the top 20, neither in the top 20 in block %, George 3rd in defensive ranking James not in the top 20.
Nothing wrong with George 1st Team. Something wrong with James 2nd Team.

George passed the eye test in the Heat series as well.
