Well just got the update on the phone, Rudy 2nd team, no Hayward

1st - Westbrook, Harden, James, Leonard, Davis
2nd - Curry, IT, KD, Giannis, Rudy
3rd - Wall, Derozan, Green, Butler, Jordan

For what it's worth, I verified this via the NBA's twitter post.

edit: oops, it was someone else's tweet. still verified though

You probably know this, but Anthony Davis counted as the center. Looks like he played a substantial number of minutes at the 5, see https://www.espn.com/nba/player/splits/_/id/6583/anthony-davis, but played more at the 4.

How do they determine when a guy is playing a certain position? Is by who he's playing next to in the frontcourt?

I'm pretty surprised Hayward wasn't closer than that. He was #21

I think so. But at least on the website I quoted, I think it was based on the starting lineup only. There are probably other website that track minutes played at 4 vs 5 for specific lineups throughout the game.

Do we really want Hayward to get the supermax, though? It makes this off season and this coming year a lot nicer, but the numbers on the back end of the contract are truly ridiculous--and in my opinion would seriously hamper the team around 4 years from now.

I'm kind of thinking the best case scenario for us is for Gobert to make the all-NBA team (because it doesn't affect his contract), but for Hayward to miss it (but to still re-sign with the Jazz of course). Certainly financially speaking that seems best.

It's a moot point now but I was looking at it like I would rather have Hayward at the mega-max over not having him at all.

if the jazz paid LT for the DWill years (where they more or less went as far as we did this year) they'll do it again, I think. Greg has been pretty good for spending money where it was needed (Rudy, bringing in players to work out, etc.)

Arena renovations as well

Gobert missed first team by 2 votes.

One first-team vote, two second team votes, or 4 3rd team votes

What really sucks is that Rudy was off of 9 ballots, vs AD's 5. Rudy gets third team on just 4 and he is on first team.

Hard to imagine 9% of sportswriters are clueless enough to think he is not deserving over Gasol/ Whiteside/ Cousins, KAT.

They do not have the sportswriter votes displayed so far. So much for transparency.

I still think there's an 85% chance he re-signs with the Jazz.
