Saw it mentioned in another thread so let's put this down for posterity. People can update their picks right before the season after we see how free agency/offseason shakes things up.

First Team
- Ben Simmons: Hits the ground running on a bad team
- Brandon Ingram: Only thing stopping him is if D'Angelo/Clarkson hog the ball
- Buddy Hield: Perfect situation in NO. Think he'll slide in nicely between Jrue and 'Reke (if 'Reke doesn't get dealt.)
- Caris Levert: Someone's gotta put up numbers in Brooklyn
- Kris Dunn: I think Rubio's gone although there are a lot of mouths to feed in Minny and nervous about him getting into Thibs' doghouse over turnover.

Second Team
- Jamal Murray: Could see Malone bringing him along slowly; battle for time Harris/Beasley (who is an honorable mention for All-Rookie team.)
- Marquese Chriss: Good situation in Philly allows him to focus on what he can bring to the table today and slowly develop the rest of his game. Chandler's a nice mentor to start his career with.
- Dragan Bender: If things aren't going well, I could see Chandler getting dealt before the deadline and Bender and Chriss both getting big minutes in back half of the year.
- Timothé Luwawu: Basically, a foreign dude will be on the list but I'm not sure who is coming over and who will be stashed but I'll go with Luwawu to put up some numbers in Philly and be more NBA ready than fellow Sixer Euro Korkmaz.
- Wade Baldwin IV: Not wild about this pick but he could be the starter in Memphis.

So thats actually happening?

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

No summer league action planned, but so far sooooooo good

I might move him to second team but it's been a couple years since playing hoops and I'm sure he'll be on some sort of minutes restriction. There's going to be a lot of rust to go along with trying to get acclimated to the NBA game.

AD ain't done shit, dogg.

so, please, go on and paint yourself in the corner and run off them individual accolades you poo poo'd when kyrie had trash by his side.

all i've seen from AD is he can't carry alonzo gee to the playoffs either. not that i blame him.

I've seen Quincy Miller, Perry Jones, Kyrie, and Brandon Knight all lead the same amount of teams to the playoffs.

Not sure how much Jaylen will even play this year with Jae (or maybe DURANT!) ahead of him. And if his shot isn't immediately improved, it'll be tough to play him in the second unit alongside Smart.
