As expected. Congrats to the kid.
Who gave Brandon Miller a 2nd place vote tbh
1 person left him off altogether
Scoot not even on the second team and Blazers fans were trying to convince people they're fine with him.
This will be his last year not on an all-nba team
I predict 25/12/5 with 4 blocks next season.
I'm still hanging onto that slim chance for Third Team
Did I miss something? Did they announce those teams yet?
Problem is it's positionless now so he can't just be the 3rd best center to get in. I don't think they let a non allstar in.
Preposterous tbh.
No. They announce the all-defensive team tomorrow. Then on Wednesday they announce the all-NBA teams.
It was rhetorical lol - I was saying I think Wemby has a decent shot at all nba and I dont get the concern at the moment. ROY, first team all rookie and finished 2nd in DPOY and will be all defense too?
Seems like he has a strong case for all nba imo
Podz and Jaime beat out the vaunted Thompsons
Wednesday for All-NBA, tomorrow for All-Defense
Edit: sorry, didn't see someone else had already responded.
he wasnt an all star which is ~top 24 so making top 15 seems unlikely
I think that happened (all star) before his insane dominate stretch….2nd half of the season he went nuts and getting all defense and 2nd in DPOY might carry enough weight combined with his outburst 2H with assists and scoring?
Media creatures are who make the selection?
The most interesting part of this result is that it serves as an early judge of peoples’ pre-draft opinions and analyses, from which we can draw useful lessons that we can then apply to this current draft cycle.
For instance, the inclusions of Lively and Jackson are noteworthy. These were two highly touted prospects in high school who went somewhat under the radar during the pre-draft process mostly due to lukewarm college freshman seasons. This shows that we should not entirely discount players due to one mediocre year, especially if they had strong play before that. This lesson applies this year to players like Ron Holland and Isaiah Collier.
It’s also noteworthy that Henderson, who was universally beloved during the pre-draft process—with some even going so far as to say two years ago that he could challenge Wemby for the top overall pick (an idea that is laughable in hindsight)—was excluded entirely from this list. This shows that we should be cautious about buying too much into the hype behind a player, no matter how “surefire” a prospect they might seem at first, and that just because someone’s name is mentioned over and over again in the media doesn’t mean they necessarily deserve that recognition. Here, players like Risacher and Sarr come to mind (not saying these guys will bust; just saying we should be cautious about anointing them just because they’re always mentioned on ESPN).
I highly doubt Wemby makes an All-NBA team but I bet he gets a handful of third team votes.
same person that didn't vote for chet for 2nd in roy
Isn't Podziemski a bit high? You could make a case for any 2nd teamers to bump him down
