SPG is not an irrelevant stat. Taking away the ball from the other team for 1 possession reduces them to 0% shooting for that possession, better than any positional defense can offer.
If the award was All NBA Positional Defense team, that would really be too specific. It has to take into account everything together, positional, SPG, BPG, etc.
