All NBA 1st team?

Embiid 6th in scoring at 27.2 PPG.

Strong scorers not in your list are Davis (29 PPG, but will be underplayed from here), Durant (27.3 PPG) and Kawhi (26.9 PPG).

Embiid is third in boards with 13.5 RPG; Davis is 13.3 RPG.

76ers fourth in the East. Pelicans 13th in the West.

Good players are going to miss out. Jokic is averaging 20/11/8 for the Nuggets, second in the West. Westbrook is averaging a triple double and barely mentioned.

Will Davis make it despite being "shut down"? League has enforced New Orleans has to play him minimum of 25 minutes a game otherwise they get fined $100,000 per game as long as he's fit.

I remember two comments made in the 90s and I'd love to hear your feedback on how relevant they are, based on what we saw in the Olympics.

Firstly, US imports liked to play in the NBL because it allowed them to end up with a broader range of skills than they were allowed to get back in the US.

Secondly, Aussie players were popular overseas because they had a great work ethic and a wide range of skills.

Before the games, we complained that there was only one pure shooter. After two games, there were complaints that Patty had a shoot-first mentality, that Jingles only had one offensive move, and thank goodness that David Andersen was versatile enough to shoot 3s.

I'm excited about some of the talent coming through for the next Olympics, but is it the RIGHT kind of talent?
Did we produce more flexible players in the past? Are we producing flexible players now, or are we producing specialists? Is it better these days to produce specialists or multi-talented players?
Are they becoming too selfish or should they be more selfish?
Are we better off sending our kids to the US or to Europe to prepare them for the playing style that suits us?

Let the discussions begin!
