Champion - Boston was 2 behind GS
East Finish - Boston was 1, Toronto 2, Philly 3, Milwaukee 4 with Indiana, Washington, Miami each getting some top 4 votes

MVP - Kyrie got some votes (Lebron predicted to win)

Starting a franchise - No C's - Giannis then Davis followed by Durant, Lebron, Curry, Embiid

Tatum and Ingram were tied at 2 for a breakout season (Jamal Murray was 1)

Irving was tied with Paul as the 3rd best PG - Horford received votes at center (no other C's on any list)

Boston didn't make any of the offseason acquisition lists

They think Doncic wins ROY followed by Bagley and Carter (tied at 2) with Ayton at 4

Boston was the 2nd best defense but no Celtics in any of the defensive lists except Smart received votes as the most versatile defender

Stevens voted best head coach, he was 3rd in manager/motivator, 1st for in game adjustments, 3rd for offense, 2nd for defense

Larranaga is tied for 3rd (with a lot of coaches) as best assistant

Boston 2nd most fun team to watch (GS), received votes for home-court advantage, 2nd for most promising young core (Philly)

Irving received votes as best pure shooter and he was 3rd as fastest player with ball

Smart and Rozier tied for 4th as bench impact player

Smart tied for 2nd as toughest player (he is tied with Lebron both behind Adams) - Baynes also received votes in that category

Horford tied for 4th as best leader and received votes for best bball IQ

Irving 4th in person you would want taking the last shot

Only one that really surprised me was Jamaal Murray as the guy they have picked for a breakout year. D'Angelo Russell or Jusuf Nurkic are my dark horses for breakout years

I disagree with Giannis over AD as a guy to build around, but I understand the thinking there.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)
