After creating the first team they probably thought maybe we have to include some guards here. Ok we'll put them on the second team. 

It's strange, though, that it's not just two teams of bigs, then.

It's odd that first team is almost all bigs and second team is all guards.

I thought the same. I guess it depends on the definition or requirements on the votes. I think voters are just thinking overall defense (blocking shots, altering shots, breaking up plays, steals) and the bigs generally have an edge due to their size. Voters are probably not distinguishing perimeter defense vs post defense, or trying to build an actual team.

It's just a top 10 list of best NBA defenders as voted by a bunch of analysts and not really a legit team.
