Stoudemire, Phoenix, 1. Two Spurs on the 1st team. Three Pistons on the first two teams. Three Bulls receiving some votes. Great for DWade though. Incredible that he not only has been recognized for his offensive skills, but now his defensive too. It is amazing to think he is just a second year player and that he was more or less an after thought in the '03 draft, even as the fifth pick. I am very impressed how quickly he has developed, especially on defense. I would have been very happy with 20ppg and 5apg this year from him with some improved defense but this is just amazing. Congrats DWade.
May 12, 200520 yr Author Nocioni only got one vote? 771254[/snapback] He is a rookie who only started 38 games. To even get a vote is impressive and should be looked at as a success.
May 12, 200520 yr Forward Andrei Kirilenko, Utah Played only 41 games, and still made it on the 2nd team.
May 12, 200520 yr Author I didnt even know Admin Hughes played 'D'. Eddie Jordan must have done wonders. 771265[/snapback] Yeah he did do wonders for him. Led the league in steals this year too I believe.
