Astute readers will notice the PotY summary is incomplete. That is because I want some input on whether I should just call the current results as is, or whether I should wait for Trelos to complete his ballot (while still proceeding with the 1952 thread in the meantime).

If we're past the proposed deadline, I say just complete and move on (you did give him a heads up after all).

Also, I note that [at least one of] my DPOY picks does not show up in the shares: I'd given Dolph Schayes my 3rd ballot for DPOY; so he should be tied with Martin for 8th.

Happy to move on. Sorry, time zone plus still on vacation for another couple of days.

Thank you for highlighting that.

All results are now finalised. For those curious, if Trelos did not give Risen his fourth place vote, then Groza and Risen would have flipped their final ranking.
