My 2nd team looks like everyone else's, I think.

Brad Beal should be on this list, though.

EDIT: Also Kemba and Aldridge. I wouldn't vote for them for 2nd team but I think they're in the conversation.

If there is other sentiment I will add them.  Personally I think I provided more options than necessary, where there are really only 6-7 guys actually in the mix for the 5 spots.

Your 3 guys were definitely on my list for 3rd team tho.  Would you list LMA as a forward?

Me? He could be either. I don't know how the NBA categorizes him, though.

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

Me neither, but I feel he has no shot at C with KAT having locked up 3rd team IMO, with Gobert likely behind.  He could be the 6th F tho.

Lillard Kyrie Durant Griffin Embiid


I'd go with Griffin over Kawhi because of games played.

Durant
Embiid

Yeah, RW has the 20 point triple double, but isn't the #1 guy on his team, a team currently behind Portland, which is clearly Lillard's team.  Dame is 9th in scoring and 14th in assists, with solid rebounding, and he's more efficient with 2x the win shares.  I go Dame.

Bump for Friday voting but this is looking pretty locked up, as it probably was since Day 1.  I think all 5 spots are non-negotiable pretty much.

Thinking of creating the All-NBA 3rd team poll next week and that should be very debatable so I hope to see more voting.  Early nominees:

G:

Westbrook
Russell
Kemba
Simmons
Beal


F:

Lebron
Blake
LMA
AD


C:

KAT
Gobert
AD


Let me know here if you guys have any other nominees for the 3rd Team- when the time comes I will include them in the poll. 

Thinking it's got to be one of those Centers and IMO those 5 guards should cover the bases, but it feels like I'm missing a F or two.

Thanks guys.

I went with LeBron as a guard alongside those other frontcourt guys.

Fascinating. Who was your other guard?
