Man, Malik Monk not getting any love from the game either. Kind of crazy to see tbh. JJJ getting the 1st team over Ayton is slightly surprising and look at the old man All Defense 2nd team with Jordan Adams, Okaro, and MKG still representing.

And Rui winning DPOY is a little crazy too.

[Dylan]

That's my DPOY!!!

[KW]

lol

[Flaming Homer]

No love for any Hawks player, fine with me. Still should have won the championship

[wms02a]

Adams getting love on the defensive side and Rozier 2nd All NBA

[GreenBear]

I'm fairly certain the game awards are slanted towards volume/totals. So a guy like Monk that sat out 15 games is not going to get much love.

[Andrewu91]

Game did decent job. JJJ out performed Ayton all season, so no surprise.

[Marcos_Beck]

Two guys at the All-League 2nd team, Lonzo at the All-Defensive 2nd team and Bowen All-Rookies 2nd team as well.

Being honest, Payton deserved the All-CSL and All-Defensive 1st team spots over Lonzo indeed.

The only Warrior is Wiggins, which I'm not surprised by. We play more of a team game. Maybe Metu can get on the defensive teams next season.
