My bad I remembered it at 7th but 5th or 7th doesn’t really matter. Hard for two players to split the vote especially in the deep west.

One was a guard and the other a forward. They really shouldn't have been split. Domas should have made it. Clearly the second best center in the West, owned AD all year.

Leaving off Fox is unfortunate but expected in the crowded field.

Perhaps but Domas is among the more divisive players in terms of how good he is. Many look at his counting stats and feel like you while others look at his lack of floor spacing and rim protection and wouldn’t put him top 10.

the people who feel like you voted Domas and the people who felt differently voted Fox. As a result neither made it.

Heat map of top 30 scorers, Fox and Demar on it of course.

The most interesting thing here is that literally all of the top 30 scorers shot fewer corner threes than league average, despite the corner three being being one of the top analytically efficient shots. There's obviously got to be a lesson here, but it seems that it's something like "corner threes are for complementary players".

I was thinking about that too and all I can come up with is most of these guys are going to have the ball in their hands more often than not and normally ball handlers aren't standing in the corner dribbling the ball since it would be much easier to defend them due to the sideline limitations.

Yeah, it's too hard to drive baseline consistently if you're a shot creator and in the end trapping someone is way easy in the corner.

Thought it was interesting how unbalanced Fox is from everyone else. He clearly has some room to grow his game.
