Holmgren Names Thunder's Wallace as NBA's Best Defender

Speaking with Serge Ibaka on the "How Hungry Are You?" show, Holmgren praised Wallace's ability to defend both on and off the ball, hound opponents 94 feet, and force misses. The 24-year-old Wallace, selected 10th overall in the same draft class as Wembanyama, was not among the Defensive Player of the Year contenders, with that award ultimately going to Wembanyama.

Holmgren's endorsement comes as the Thunder boast the best defensive team in the league, an achievement anchored by his own defensive presence as acknowledged by teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. cricket-ipl.in
