It’s positionless this year if you didn’t know.Shai
Luka
Giannis
Sabonis
Jokic
If Embiid qualified he'd be in but I'll take Sabonis. Considered Gobert but Sabonis has been great
who brunson going over? luka? lolIf Shai and Brunson aren't first team, everything is wrong.
SGA is definitely first team but yeah, Brunson at best is gonna be second team.who brunson going over? luka? lol
This1st team:
Luka
SGA
Tatum
Giannis
Jokic
2nd team:
Brunson
Ant
Kawhi
Bron
KD
3rd team:
Steph
Brown
Booker
AD
Last spot is tough between Sabonis/Haliburton/Fox
Brunson over Luka?If Shai and Brunson aren't first team, everything is wrong.
I don’t really see the argument for putting Booker or Bron on second team. Book has been one of the worse defenders in the league and the Lakers are like the 9th seed despite how good AD has been next to him.I mean, yea... SGA/Luka/Tatum/Giannis/Jokic are locks
After that it's a bit of a crap-shoot. AD is the most deserving of 2nd team imo, whereas Brunson, Sabonis, Kawhi, KD, LeBron, Booker, Hali... they've all been around the same production with peaks and valleys. You can put whichever on 2nd or 3rd team and it'll be spliting hairs.
Ant and Curry have had some viral highlights and games but I don't feel either have been particularly outstanding on average. But both will probably be included due to team record (MIN) and reputation.
Lakers are still a good team with a record 9 games above .500 with a chance to make it 14+ games over the course of the seasonI don’t really see the argument for putting Booker or Bron on second team. Book has been one of the worse defenders in the league and the Lakers are like the 9th seed despite how good AD has been next to him.

we all love brunson too but he's just fine on 2nd teamWhy everyone got Tatum on 1st team?
Swap him out for Brunson. Jalen Carrying the Knicks.
Shyt, there are many nights Jaylen brown is out there carrying the Celtics. Brunson doesn't have a 2nd option as good as Jaylen Brown.
Yeah, I get how tight it all is which is why I didn’t go crazy putting east players on mine but I couldn’t leave out Mitchell given how bad Cleveland was without him.True, tho tbf seeds 6-10 (NOP, PHX, SAC, LAL, GSW) are all 4 Ls within each other, and most of them have 2 co-stars. Then consider that NOPs record as the 6th seed would have them tied for 3rd in the East.
Record-wise it's a bit of a clusterfukk East and West, imo. But fair point with Booker's defensive ratings. Tho i'd wonder just how bad the offensive/defensive splits are with the other 2nd/3rd team candidates.
