Here's a look at the voting breakdown.

While all 10 players are deserving All-Defensive candidates, fans noted some players perhaps worthy of more consideration.

In particular, Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels and Cleveland Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley were mentioned as potential snubs.

Here's a look at fans' comments in support of that trio after the teams were revealed.

Thompson started all 79 of his games in his third NBA season, averaging 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game for the fifth-seeded Rockets.

McDaniels averaged 14.8 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 1.1 SPG and 1.0 BPG for the sixth-seeded Timberwolves. He was a huge asset on both ends in their first-round upset of the Denver Nuggets.

Mobley is still alive in the playoffs with the fourth-seeded Cavs, who are down 2-0 to the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year posted 18.2 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 3.6 APG and 1.7 BPG.
