Green's frontcourt mate, Andrew Bogut received 33 first team votes and 102 total points, landing as the center for the NBA All-Defensive 2nd Team. With this selection, Bogut will earn extra incentives. Per Chuck Myron of Hoops Rumors:
Bogut's selection is perhaps most important, since he triggers a bonus worth 15 percent of his nearly $12.973 million salary for this season, giving him approximately $1.946 million in extra pay. It also means his cap hit for next season jumps to $13.8 million instead of $12 million, since the bonus will fall in the category of a likely bonus.
Below are the listed of all players selected to All-Defensive Teams.
