    Thats amazing considering he only played about half of the season. If he did not get injuried, I think he would of won the Defensive Player of the Year and been on the first team. But the All-Defensive Second Team is amazing for only playing about 42 games.

    Andrei Kirilenko made the All-Defensive second team last season, playing in 78 games. He made the All-Defensive second team again this season, but played in just 41 games. Some of those games he had to play limited minutes as well. It's a great achievement for Kirilenko.
