meloshouldgo wrote:The NBA Frist Rookie team voting - It really does point towards future success in the NBA

Who wouldn't want a starting five of Trey Burke, THJR, Landry fields, Willy Hernangomez and Jahlil Okafor?
I mean what team would ever score anything more than seventy total points agaisnt this defensive death squad?

And to think they could have Shump and Channing Frye off the bench! WOW
Apparently the people who vote pay attention to *cough* DEFENSE.

Coaches vote.

They do but realistically coaches get to see a player up close 2-5 times a year. And they you are asking them to compare a rookie to another rookie, who they only watched in person 2-5 times a year.

I am sure they watch the highlights.

Also, they must not have payed much attention to that coach in Boston.

The stuff with Stevens was weird. I did hear speculation that coaches voted for Casey to make it harder for the raptors to fire him.

I’d be a nice show of respect.... which would also have zero impact on the decision itself

Given the starting squad I listed, you have to seriously doubt their ability to evaluate overall "fit" as a voting bloc. To then have fans cite the same lopsided voting results as a basis for evaluating which rookie will really have the best future in teh NBA is really funny. These teams along with the all star teams are basically popularity contests. Do the coaches do slightly better than a staright out facebook poll, probably but not by much. Just looking at the last few years they have done a pretty lousy job, overall.

I love that Fizdale is taking time out with these young players!

Bringing them to a game to watch and feel the intensity of the Boston guards and players is just gold.

this photos doesn't exactly look like they're having fun, they all seem to be in their own world...lol

They couldn't get better seats then that

Dotson's thinking: "Just let me play this year coach."
Mudiay: "You mean Fiz really wants me to work hard and get in shape now?"
Fiz: "I love my kids."
Frank: "I will rule the world some day."

I think PGs don't fully develop in the NBA until three years, at the earliest. I just think it's foolish to bank on him to be something the way we banked on him last year

What did we miss on?
