Tristan got in by the skin of his teeth, tied for last with Williams and with a three way tie in the first team adding two more players than there should be.
haha still counts!

Tristan Thompson was much better than Derrick Williams...

Agreed... The difference really lies in their demeanor. I recall Derrick Williams boasting about his "Star Power"
I still think he could be great in the right situation, but he can't defend any position at all really. At least TT has the capability to become an elite defender at a set position. His FT% increase was definitely a great sign for the future.

What's crazy is, besides Kyrie & Knight, most of these were surprises.

Re: Irving and Thompson make 1st and 2nd rookie teams
Should have dropped Leonard and Knight down to 2nd team. Ties should be broken by 1st place votes (if possible).
