Well...that was a lot of work--and a total crap shoot. Obviously I couldn't watch all of them, so I had to do a lot of research. Not a lot to go on with some rookies.

First team:

Wemby
Holmgren
Scoot
Miller
A. Thompson (I take the 2.5 points), just kidding. Ausar Thompson.

Second team:

After what I saw last the other night, vs the Heat, no way Wemby is on the rookie second team.

Ya, was trying to take the games played into account for the other awards too. It’s a huge wrinkle in an otherwise, mostly crapshoot.

Thank you to those who participated. Predictions are locked.
