A nice gesture but he hasn’t a chance.

I was hoping they would promote him.
2nd team all-NBA would be a nice honor for him. (and maybe more respect from the refs.)

Who was the last Blazer to make it? Theo Ratliff 20 years ago?
Thybulle does not count, but he was 2nd team two years in a row with Philly
 
Do you think we shut down Toumani for the rest of the season now that we are 100% eliminated from the playoffs?
 
last year's teams:

Adebayo will return. Gobert is very likely returning, a 4-time DPOY is hard to keep off th 1st team. But AD has played 49 games and Wemby has played 46. And Herbert Jones only played 20 game...so he's out

Caruso has only played 52, but he's been excellent on defense. Jrue is Jrue. McDaniels has played every game and been really solid defensively. Suggs has only played 35 games. White has been solid

so, I'd think there are two spots open: one on 1st team; one on 2nd team. Considering the hype, I'd think Amen moves onto the 1st team and Camara onto the 2nd team

Given that a player has to appear in at least 65 games to be eligible, Caruso's defensive excellence is irrelevant. AD, Wemby, and Jrue are all out for the same reason. Of last year's 10, only 4 are eligible to make this year's team.

This year's top 2 DPOY candidates are JJJ and Mobley, both new additions relative to last year. OKC's top 3 (SGA, JW, Dort) are all probably in as well. If Bam/Gobert/McDaniels/White all repeat, that leaves only one spot for Amen or Camara, and I'm guessing Amen gets it. Camara probably has to wait unless he can beat one of those 10.

SGA
Dort
Amen
Mobley
JJJ

White
McDaniels
Williams
Bam
Gobert

ok....I thought all-NBA-defense was exampt from the 65 game rule
 
I dont think he gets all defense. Dyson Daniels, Draymond, JJJ, Mobley, Dort, Bam, Gobert, Amen, AD, Wemby...
Next year hopefully.

Good point--I completely forgot about Daniels, who is an obvious inclusion.

Where are Draymond & Daniels on your list? I'm with the crowd guessing Toumani makes 2nd team.

As I mentioned earlier, I completely forgot about Daniels. I hadn't really thought about Draymond, but I guess he's still as good as ever? And I recently read someone saying Zubac is a DPOY possibility. So maybe it's more like:

Daniels
Draymond
Mobley
JJJ
Zubac

followed by:

Dort
Amen
J. Williams
Gobert

and then maybe Camara gets the 10th spot? I don't know...
