- We are voting on the teams that were drafted last year.
- Please vote based on how they performed this past season.
 
Booker obviously puts this one over the top. Without Book though, hmmm.
 
I bet I voted for RM originally, tho I haven't looked. Not a fan of addis team.
 
The reason that I have won might have a point though. The projection of these players’ performance can shift to the other pole rapidly within a year.

Thats true. I did not expect Oladipo to have such a big breakout year. That was huge for me. The other factor is that a lot of people assumed and voted based on the fact that they didnt think Embiid would play this year. I also think Giannis is underrated on here and was underrated even more so last year.

Plus you had Bradley, Ibaka, and Whiteside all decline this year that I didnt expect. Well maybe I expected Ibaka to but not the other guys as much.

I remember thinking that Butler was the best player on either team and that Whiteside was still ascending. I also remember thinking that Embiid was a terrible pick as a starter. He’d only played in 31 games in three seasons.

Having Giannis start the season with MVP numbers while Oladipo and Embiid both grew into All-Stars certainly helps his case over the course of a year.
