US media divides the league s defensive players: Wenban is 1st in the same tier AD3rd in the tier Zhan Du about 10th in the list Curry is not on the list

On September 19, the American media Starting Basketball divided the defensive ability of active NBA players in 2025. Unexpectedly, the new DPOY Evan Mobley was not the first player, and Wenban Yama was ranked in the first and unique.

First: Vinbanyama;

Second: Mobley, Draymond Green;

Third: Caruso, Anthony Davis, Dyson Daniels;

Fourth: Amen, Dort, Homgren, Adebayo;

Fifth: Osar, Murphy, Gobert, Giannis, Zubac;

Sixth: Jewish, Anunobi, Leonard, Jaren Jr., Kamala, McDan;

Seventh: Dunn, Sages, Holiday, White, Nembhard, Isaac, Aaron Gordon;

Eighth: Harten, Keith Le, Allen, Barnes, Edwards, Seble, Aaron Wiggins, Smart;

ninth level: Alexander, Jaylen Brown, Dillon, Vince Williams, Butler, Wagner Jr., Wiggins, Finney Smith, Turner;

tenth level: Hart, Nessmith, Vanderbilt, Siakam, Durham, Stewart, Jokic, Durant, Tatum, James;

Wenbanya was not even qualified to be selected for the best team and the best defense team due to blood clots last season. As a result, he was selected as the strongest player in the defense, and Mobley, who won the best defensive player, could not do it? Of course, Mobley's defensive performance in the playoffs was indeed not good.

Jaren Jackson Jr., as the former DPOY defender who fell directly to the sixth level of the league, isn't this decline too fast? Did DPOY decline so rapidly in the 22-23 season? Of course, Jerry Jr. is indeed criticized for being unstable.

Wenban Yama has been highly praised since entering the league. He should be another pride of heaven after LeBron. The resources of the league are tilted towards him, and the media loves him very much.

Unexpectedly, 40-year-old LeBron and 37-year-old Durant can still be selected as the top defenders in the league. Although they are at the bottom tenth level, after all, 38-year-old Curry did not make it on the list.
