All-Rookie Teams Announced

[KIG1]

Im surprised Nate Rob and 'shad Mcants didnt get more....

Probably the voters didn't like the Knicks because they played so horrible. McCants wasn't consistent enough.

yeah go Bogut-he's all i care about

Felton cant make 1st team when Paul is there

For a while (well actually, only at the end of the season), Nate Robinson was being the highest scorer for his team, so he should have more votes.

Please, he's 5'9 and he can dunk and now every short guy roots for him like they've got something in common. So he scored a lot in a couple of games, so what. His teams is the second worst in the League and he's a complete douche who can't do anything else than score a bit and dunk. That doesn't make a player 'great'. Where does his potential lie? In his tremendous playmaking skills? In his tenacity on defense? Or is he an unselfish locker room presence who knows his role on the court?

Well he does have a little bit of talent, he might be an 8th man who an give some nice scoring off the bench some day, with a lot of hard work and not with the Knicks.
He only had high numbers at the end of the season because way before the all-star break the Knicks (as in: people associated to them who can think rationately) already knew they were lottery bound (except that they don't own the pick) so the games didn't matter anymore.

I'm pretty satisfied with the first team, although Deron Williams is probably the only person who wasn't a lock to make the first team.

A lot of the players on the second team are interchangeable with the people who didn't get on the team. They all played half decently and had reasons to be voted on the second team.

[The X]

my only adjustment would be putting Felton on 1st team in favour of Deron....apart from that I have no problem with the teams....

[Stevesanity]

No votes for Daniel Ewing or James Singleton
Like quite a few I'd put Raymond Felton on the first team over Deron but other than that, its pretty alright.

Uh, I never I said liked him. I never said he was great. All I know is that despite being the 3rd or 4th PG in his team, Nate was scoring points for his team. That's how I came up with the idea that perhaps he should have gotten some more votes.

^ But that comes out of Larry Brown punishing his underachieving veterans by playing the younger guys for extended minutes.
