That's not even the worst part though. 7 coaches didn't even vote for Parsons at all. Instead they opted to vote for (first place votes in parentheses): Markieff Morris, Phoenix, 7 (1); Kemba Walker, Charlotte 7; Alec Burks, Utah 2; Norris Cole, Miami 2; Bismack Biyombo, Charlotte 2; Enes Kanter, Utah 1; Greg Stiemsma, Boston 1; Gustavo Ayon, New Orleans 1; Nikola Vucevic, Philadelphia 1. Two coaches elected to go with Tristan Thompson and Derrick Williams for the first team. Really?
Brandon Knight definitely has talent. I've watched him play since his HS days and he's the real deal. And if you've ever him do interviews, he's definitely got a sharp basketball mind. I wouldn't mind having him on our team.
It was a very disappointing year from the rookies. Irving is the only one that really did anything this year in the top 10. At least Rubio finally came over.. 1) Kyrie Irving 2) Derrick Williams 3) Enes Kanter 4) Tristan Thompson 5) Jonas Valančiūnas 6) Jan Veselý 7) Bismack Biyombo 8) Brandon Knight 9) Kemba Walker 10) Jimmer Fredette
Parsons second team? Really? Dude was only one of the best perimeter defenders last season. If Kawhi Leonard is first team then Parsons should be as well, he was basically a rich man's Kawhi this year. Anyway I hope Parsons takes this as a diss and takes his summer camp really seriously. Hopefully he adds rebs and points to his awesome defense this season and becomes MIP next year.
I disagree with Williams, he's on the wrong team and it's too early to tell. He's not going to get minutes in a lineup that features Love, Randolph, Beasley, and Johnson. I still do not know why Minnesota drafted him.
With the information available at the time, drafting anyone else would have been a reach. It was either drafting him, or trading down.
Great Stuff Parsons. Keep it up. Guess who was on the all NBA 1st team - Kahwi Leonard. Guess who got no mentions at all - Marcus Morris.
Wow, this really was a pathetic first ten. I thought Enes Kanter would do more; it's too bad the Jazz have both Jefferson and Millsap. Biyombo looks good though.
this is what happens outta site outta mind small market play for HOU even though the player is above avg
