I got 14 out of 15 last year (I had JB over Haliburton).  Let's see how I do this year. This is what I think it will be, not necessarily what I think it should be.

First Team
Jokic
Giannis
Tatum
SGA
D Mitchell

Second Team
KAT
Mobley
Lebron
Curry
Anthony Edwards

Third Team
Sengun
JJJ
Jaylen Williams
Cade
Brunson

Who should make the All-NBA 3rd Team - Brunson or Haliburton?

Hali = 73 game 33.6mpg 18.6ppg 9.2apg 3.5rpg 2.1 stocks 13.7 FGA 47.3% FG% 7.7 3PTA 38.8% 3.0 FTA 85.1% 61.6% TS% 2.4 turnovers per game

Brunson = 65 games 35.4mpg 26.0ppg 7.3apg 2.9rpg 1.0 stocks 18.5 FGA 48.8% 6.1 3PTA 38.3% 6.9 FTA 82.1% 60.6% TS% 3.5 turnovers per game

Interesting comp. Brunson with a big advantage in scoring at 26ppg to 18.6ppg. Hali with a good advantage in assists at 9.2 to 7.3. Hali with 2.1 stocks to 1.0 for Brunson. TS% comparable. Slight advantage Hali. I showed the shot profile breakdown because it is an interesting difference. Brunson is great at getting to the foul line. Hali rarely gets FTs. Takes a larger portion of 3s. Both guys have similar shooting figures from each area of the court and scoring efficiency overall. Hali with another good advantage in turnovers at 2.0 to 3.5 per game.

Knicks won 51 games. Pacers 50 games.

Brunson a more heliocentric player. Haliburton a more team orientated offensive threat.

I got 13 out of 15 - not bad. I didn?t expect three guards on the second team but if you go positionless, it makes sense. Harden surprised me and for the second year in a row I missed Haliburton
