If we are talking about the average population?

This got me wondering, LeBron averaged 25.7/7.3/8.3 on 63% TS, shooting 50/40 from the field. He’s also top 10 in almost every advanced metric, including DEFENSIVE advanced statistics.

These stats should be enough for 1st team All NBA, yet he’s predicted to be in the THIRD team?

Tatum is going to be 1st Team All-NBA with much worse stats: 26/8/4 on 60% TS (shooting 47/37)

I understand that we’re the 8th seed, but this was a stacked Western Conference, and seeding didn’t matter for Jokic winning MVP or Luka getting 1st team on low seeds.

1st team all-nba:

-Doncic

-Shai

-Tatum

-Giannis

-Jokic

2nd team all-nba:

-Brunson

-Edwards

-LeBoogie

-Durant

-AD

3rd team all-nba:

-Haliburton

-Curry

-Booker

-Kawhi

-Sabonis

Thoughts?

Title - what's the general consensus?

If I'm being real honest, I want Sarr. I know we want a traditional big, but can you imagine running Sarr and JJJ out there in the frontcourt? That'd be the most mobile frontcourt in the league. We'd have to more than likely trade up, but I don't think that'd be that expensive with this draft.

Just thought some of you might like to see these things actually shown on video. I use clips to show the difference in carrying, no charge circles, offensive charging, traveling, etc. IMO it's very important to understand all of these differences (and how they gradually changed as time went on) when discussing different generations of players.

Victor Wembanyama to the French media on his current level compared to the level he aims to reach: "I would say that I am currently at 15% between my first NBA game and what I hope will be my prime."

I don’t know if anyone has posted this here yet but 7 voters have revealed their ballots and ant, gobert and Naz Reid are all doing extremely well in voting right now! Out of 6 voters, 5 have ant on all-nba second team. For dpoy 7 of 9 voters gave it to gobert, and all 7 voters picked Naz to win 6moty.

Damian Lillard:

• • Dame was traded 1 month later, about 2 weeks before the start of the season.)

Jordan Poole

• • He ended up averaging 17/4/3 on 41.3%FG, 32.6% 3PT

• • Lol

James Harden

• • He was traded to the Clippers on October 31st, less than a week into the season.

Thunder/SGA

• • OKC finished the season with the #1 seed in the west at 57-25, and Shai is currently the 3rd in betting odds to win MVP behind Jokic and Luka.

Tyrese Maxey

• • He averaged 26, his previous career best was 20ppg the year before.

Hawks

• • They almost had 50 losses, finished the season 36-46.

Mavericks

• • They went 50-32 and secured the 5th seed in an ultra competitive western conference.

Timberwolves/Ant/KAT/Rudy

• • Timberwolves led the western conference for much of the season and were looking like the #1 seed until KAT tore his meniscus. They had arguably the best frontcourt in the NBA and were the #1 defense. They ended up #3 with a 56-26 record, 1 game behind the 1st seed.

• • Couldn't quite do it, he went 0-3 this season.
