Al-Farouq Aminu possible NBA All-defensive second team

[Draco]

Dan Marang brought it up. Should it happen? Will it?

Would be another Blazer in a long line of post season awards; I hadn't thought of that one before.

CJ most improved.
Stotts coach of the year
Neil executive of the year
Dame All-NBA
Aminu defensive team

I like it!

Wow now that the Warriors might not break the record the NBA might not default Coach of the Year to Kerr. We really could be looking at a list like that, which is the most impressive collective we've had in years.

 

[B-Roy]

I can't see them giving it to someone on a team that is 20th in defense.

Anthony Davis made it last year. The Pelicans were the 22nd ranked defense.

If we win 45 games, MULTIPLE people on this team better win some awards.

Checkmate, Atheists!

It's also Anthony Davis, whose rhetoric is greater than his play.

That and they listed Luke/Kerr separately on the ballot. Might split the Warriors vote. Would be a great way to win and those two get 2nd, 3rd. I can hear the bitching now and its pleasant.

Whether our guys win or not, it's nice to have them under at least somewhat serious consideration.

It's an honor just to be nominated.

He might get a few votes, and that is good enough. At least he will be noticed.

Frankly, that would set him up for future votes, which would also be nice.

That's how reputations get started. Get a reputation as a lock down defender and you get more respect from the refs. That happened with Joel Przybilla. His PF/36 dropped from ~6 to ~4 when he became a starter.

Idk about that. What I do know is that the Avery Bradley better be on the list.

 

[Draco]

Last year
1st Team

Tony Allen
Draymond Green
DeAndre Jordan
Kawhi Leonard
Chris Paul​

2nd Team

Andrew Bogut
Jimmy Butler
Anthony Davis
Tim Duncan
John Wall​

This year I'd put;

Green
Kawhi
Bradley
Paul​

on the first team for sure. Really not certain on much else. LaMarcus probably ends up making it somewhere. Rudy Gobert needs to be on it. Maybe Kyle Lowry. I say no to Whiteside though he'll get votes.

 

[Blazers Roy]

So glad we got rid of Batum.
We wouldn't be in the playoffs with Batum in the starting lineup and no Henderson.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Idk about that. What I do know is that the Avery Bradley better be on the list.

Bradley: 2.7 DWS | -0.1 DBPM | 106 DRtg
Aminu: 2.3 DWS | 0.8 DBPM | 107 DRtg

Interesting. Well, eye test tells me Bradley is a hound on defense. Him and Smart.
