Next Year's Goal: Two votes or bust!

This year's All-Defensive teams were announced today, and sadly, the coaches blackballed Taser from getting any votes.  On the bright side, a Wizards player did receive a vote this year.  See if you can find him in all the riff-raff:

FIRST TEAM -- Kevin Garnett, forward, Boston, 52 (24); Kobe Bryant, guard, L.A. Lakers, 52 (24); Marcus Camby, center, Denver, 37 (14); Bruce Bowen, guard-forward, San Antonio, 36 (13); Tim Duncan, forward, San Antonio, 33 (12).

SECOND TEAM -- Shane Battier, forward, Houston, 29 (9); Chris Paul, guard, New Orleans, 26 (10); Dwight Howard, center, Orlando, 25 (8); Tayshaun Prince, forward, Detroit, 20 (3); Raja Bell, guard, Phoenix, 18 (4).

OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES -- Chauncey Billups, Detroit, 14 (5); Jason Kidd, Dallas, 13 (4); Rasheed Wallace, Detroit, 13 (3); Rajon Rondo, Boston, 11 (3); Deron Williams, Utah, 8, (3); Josh Smith, Atlanta, 8, (3); Ron Artest, Sacramento, 8 (2); Tyson Chandler, New Orleans, 8 (1); Andrei Kirilenko, Utah, 6; Derek Fisher, Los Angeles Lakers, 4 (1); LeBron James, Cleveland, 4 (1); Manu Ginobili, San Antonio, 4 (1); Kirk Hinrich, Chicago, 3 (1); Samuel Dalembert, Philadelphia, 3 (1); Andre Iguodala, Philadelphia, 1 (2); Brandon Roy, Portland, 2; Paul Pierce, Boston, 2; Andre Miller, Philadelphia, 1; Andres Nocioni, Chicago, 1; Baron Davis, Golden State, 1; Caron Butler, Washington, 1; Chris Bosh, Toronto, 1; Dikembe Mutombo, Houston, 1; Josh Howard, Dallas, 1; Richard Hamilton, Detroit, 1; Ronnie Brewer, Utah, 1.

The voting is done by the coaches, so I'll leave it to you to guess which one voted for Caron.  Possibly this man?  Scratch that, coaches can't vote for their players.

The sad thing is, the Wizards actually had more All-Defensive team votes last year when Caron got two votes and Gilbert (?!?!?) got one.

I believe

coaches can’t vote for their own players. I don’t understand how LeBron James got a vote.

Whoops!

Good call on the can’t vote part. Now we have a mystery on our hands!

Not just votes

First team votes.

If I’m Chris Paul, I’m probably kicking something right now.
