Howard Beck

And Jalen Brunson was the only guy who I hadn't mentioned so far who was one of those locks.

Definitely there.

I'm just trying to figure out which spot.

And this could change 100 times between now and the end of the season.

So Jalen Brunson's in the first slot of third team at this point, followed by Jamal Murray.

And I struggled with this.

I think I had like nine guys for the last four spots.

It's always tough.

Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, James Harden, Jalen Johnson.

And with apologies to Steph Curry, who obviously we're both huge fans of and deserves every benefit of the doubt possible when you're doing these things.

And if it's close and if he's eligible at the end, I may well have him on there.

To make this easier on myself yesterday, I did the slight cheat of assuming that he's not going to make the cut, that he's not going to make the 65 game rule.

I think that's a pretty safe assumption, but as of today, he makes it.

The other guys who I did not pick...

I, I, you mentioned a bunch of them, Jalen Duren, Scotty Barnes flirted with, with cat a little bit.

Um, but you know, it just, there's so many of his numbers are down and he said such a weird up, uh, up and down season.

He's on my omissions list.

Evan Mobley and Denny Avdia.

Denny Avdia is one of four players in the league.

I know we can play with basketball reference all we want and do these things, but Denny Avdia is one of four guys in the league averaging 25, seven and five.
