    Embiid (also MVP)
    Giannis
    Doncic
    Booker
    Morant

    The only one I hesitate on is Booker, If you can put LeBron or Doncic as a guard then I might bump Booker and add LeBron statistically his season was insane, especially at 38.

    Most consider Doncic a guard. When he's out, Brunson and Dinwiddie fill his role.

    I realized that I need to have Jimmy Butler over Morant as well.

    Embiid
    Giannis
    LeBron
    Doncic
    Butler

    Final answers and shoutout to my smart AF son for convincing me to give Butler the nod over Morant.

    I’d have to give Tatum the SF spot. No matter how good LeBron is or has been, not being able to drag his team to even the play-in should preclude him getting a first team spot.

    Why Butler over Morant? I’d have Tatum over Butler too.

    You'd put Tatum in a guard slot?

    Hard to argue against Trae who led the league in total points and assists

    Ja Morant is a tad bit overrated even on offense and he's mostly a one way player. Butler's grit, leadership (Even if Thibs style it wears on people), defense and will to win give him the edge. He helped get the Heat to the number 1 seed in the most stacked EC in ages. He's a two way player and that matters to me even if he's a full notch below Ja on offense he's a couple notches above Ja on defense.

    I would also go with this.

    A very tough year indeed to pick.

    Ja Morant over Trae Young is… questionable.

    I agree with how it turned out. Didn't see a single thing wrong with the results.
