Pretty rare for Paolo and Franz to both get completely shut out of the podium when they both play, but that's gonna happen here.

I’m a fan of AB, but I have to go with Cole. Suggs level impact there.

WCJ had a heck of a game it seems, but I remain unimpressed. Win some damn jump balls, make a high IQ play for once in your life, stop getting injured, and get across the court quicker.

This game was a master class in guard defense.

I went for Black-v over Anthony-c, but gosh-darnit were these two focused on perimeter shooters. Then, as again this was a defensive gem of a game, Carter was outstanding minding the middle

The vote is clearly going to show that the three plus/minus wizards were this team's three best players.
