Who do you guys think will win get the spots. Besides the PG position the other spots are up for grabs. First Team: PG: Irving SG: Marshon Brooks SF: Leonard (More popular) PF: I think Faried has done slightly better than Thompson, but that's my opinion C: Biyombo Second Team: PG: Rubio SG: Burks SF: Parsons PF: Thompsons C: Nikola Vucevic
Their doesn't have to be a C for all rookie teams. 1st Team Irving Rubio Brooks Faried Parsons (probably my homerism but I think he has a legit shot.) 2nd team Leonard Thomas Thompson (Klay) Shumpert Thompson (Tristan)
True. I still count him as a rookie anyway because nobody really knew he existed until his real rookie season which is this year
Brooks has fallen off and he's not on many rookie rankings right now. Guy has style but his bball IQ questionable and that defense is no good.
THere are 3 locks for the first team: Irving, Rubio, Faried imo. If Thompson counts as forward, he too is a lock. Not entirely sure how positions work. If Faried counts as a center and Thompson counts as a forward: G: Irving G: Rubio F/G: K.Thompson F: Parsons or Leonard F/C: Faried G: I.Thomas G: Brooks F: Leonard or Parsons F: T.Thompson C: Biyombo If Faried does not count as a C but Thompson counts as a forward- G: Irving G: Rubio F/G: K.Thomspon F: Faried C: Biyombo G: I.Thomas G: Brooks F: Parsons F: Leonard C: Kanter? Vucevic? Scrub? If Thompson counts as a guard but Faried counts as a center G: Irving G: Rubio F: Parsons F: Leonard C: Faried G: I.Thomas G: K.Thompson F: T.Thompson F: D.Williams C: Biyombo If Thompson counts as a guard and Faried can not count as a center G: Irving G: Rubio F: Faried F: Parsons or Leonard C: Biyombo G: I.Thomas G: K.Thompson F: Leonard or Parsons F: T.Thompson C: Kanter? Vucevic? Scrub?
Knowing the NBA, the first team will probably end up being: Irving / Rubio / K.Thompson / (Leonard or Parsons or Biyombo. More than likely Leonard) / Faried
Isn't Rubio out for the season? He's played 41 games, is that enough to be considered for the Rookie teams?
Did not know that. If that is the case: Irving, Rubio, I. Thomas, K.Thompson, Faried first team Parsons, Leonard, Brooks, Biyombo, (T.Thompson or D.Williams) imo
yes, so this thread is somewhat misguided in voting. And because of that, Parsons will make 1st team. Curry, Evans and Jennings all made first team the same year. Rose, Westbrook and Mayo did too. And in contrast, no one under 6'8 made it in Durant and Scola's year. Durant, Scola, Horford, Jeff Green and Al Thornton.
I think he should but with Irving/Rubio as locks, NBA.com (rookie ladder) seems to be pushing Klay Thompson, Kenneth Faried and Isiaih Thomas hard. They even have Kawhai Leonard ranked above Chandler (smh).
