Understandable, have a good day
PODZ
Expected Lively II. He met the criteria
Really impressed by Brandon Miller this season, think he has a long and fruitful career ahead of him
Gonna pour some honey on you Brandon Miller
Sucks for Lively, but the class is stacked
Is all rookie positional
Excepted, congrats to them all!
Understandable can argue lively but it’s fine
Lively got robbed by people stepping on his ankles and getting punched in the nose.
So proud of Jaquez
Lively robbed
All-Rookie has always been positionless, but this could be an actual lineup.
Let’s go Jaime!

Lively the mavs third best player all season can’t get first team what a joke
I live the way Jaime plays ball, it’s so cerebral. His footwork, his vision and cutting for the open lane the growing confidence in hus defensive abilities. He’s going to be a big name in the near future
Victor deserved 0th team.
They had to use a summer league pic for Chet? Really?
Wack
Chet played every game after the disappointment of what should have been his rookie year last year. He made a massive difference in the way we play.
I would’ve swapped Lively and Pod but otherwise these are solid.
I want to say Lively got robbed but he missed too many games for voters to put him on first team
Wolves fans were the first people (besides Warriors fans) to know Brandin Podziemski was legit. He almost beat us himself in the last few minutes of garbage time early in the season. Went on fire in like two minutes or something
Santa Clara’s all-time team finally has another guard lol
Steve Nash / Brandin Podziemski / Jalen Williams / Kurt Rambis / Dennis Awtrey
And my man, [Kenny Sears](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Sears), as sixth man. Fun fact: he was the first basketball player on the cover of Sports Illustrated!
If only brandin was spelled right, it would truly be a Renaissance for people named Brandon
Completely unrelated and I apologise for it but Cam Whitmore is so fun to watch can’t wait for him to ball again. Felt like everytime he wanted a bucket he got one
LFG PODZ
Was hoping to see TJD make the 2nd team. I know his minutes were limited but his numbers and advanced stats were great for how much he played
I wonder if TJD will get 2nd team. I think he woulda been a shoo-in if Kerr wouldn’t have iced him out for the first half of the season.
Finally, the part of the post season that actually matters
Does anyone know when all nba teams are announced? Last year it was May 10th.
I’ll never forgive the front office for picking Jalen over Jaime
We can’t say that every year about rookie first team but this year is a really good line-up.
If Brandon Miller flopped, you’d be hearing all about it. Now that he’s been great, you don’t hear much at all.
Really sums up NBA media and fans.
I’m just saying.
It would be fun to see a Wemby-Chet-Porzingas lineup.
This is not legit if there is no Jalen Hood-Schifino, aka the Cryptid of Crypto Arena. 😂😂😂
