Marvin

[shock]

Marvin has been named to the All-Rookie Second team. I believe both Chillz and Smoove were on the team last year. Congratulations to Marvin.

Congrats, it's deserved. He had a real slow progression (like the joshes), but was coming along nicely towards the end.

2005-06 T-Mobile NBA ALL-ROOKIE FIRST TEAM

Chris Paul

Charlie Villanueva

Andrew Bogut

Deron Williams

Channing Frye

2005-06 T-Mobile NBA ALL-ROOKIE SECOND TEAM

Danny Granger

Raymond Felton

Luther Head

Marvin Williams

Ryan Gomes

I guess that means Marvin is a top ten Rookie?

Let me see:

Paul

Bogut

Deron

Villanueva

Frye

Granger

Felton

Head

Marvin?

What about Salim, Gomes, and Nate Robinson?

No love for the undersized player?

[capstone21]

Felton was the second or third best rookie this past season. He started a little slow but after all star break he was playing just as well as Paul.

There is no way Williams deserved first team over him.

[Lascar78]

Like I've argued before, Salim is not as valuable as Marvin. He has shot us out of games as often as he has shot us into them, and he has no other aspects to his game as of today.

Final point totals:

Chris Paul 58

C. Villanueva 56

Andrew Bogut 55

Deron Williams 46

Channing Frye 45

Danny Granger 43

Raymond Felton 40

Luther Head 28

M. Williams 15

Ryan Gomes 14

Sarunas Jasikevicius, Indiana, 12

Ike Diogu, Golden State, 8

Nate Robinson, New York, 7

Rashad McCants, Minnesota, 6

Johan Petro, Seattle, 6

Jose Calderon, Toronto, 3

Jarrett Jack, Portland, 3

Joey Graham, Toronto, 2

Martell Webster, Portland, 2

Salim Stoudamire, Atlanta, 1

Damn, Felton didn't make the team?

At the end of the season he was clearly outplaying Williams, but over the entire season, Deron was more consistent and he led his team to more wins. I could see it either way. In the last 3 months, Felton was definitely a top 3 rookie

[Diesel]

If you looked only at the late season surge...

Top 5 would be:

1. Ike.

2. Felton

3. Paul

4. Marvin

5. Either Nate or Petro.

However, if you consider the winning percentage of the teams in question.. Only Paul would be a player worth noting next year.

It's easy to look good in the latter part of the year when your team sucks. We've seen it over and over again.

Somebody call Ira...

You would certainly think Nate Robinson would have made the list. Maybe because his team had such a poor record? That really doesn't make sense either though - we had a pretty bad record too.

[Plastic Man]

felton got robbed. deron still overrated.

[Johnnybravo4]

I can't figure out the fascination with Luther Head...or Andrew Bogut for that matter

Congrats to Marvin

[Guest Walter]

for those who saw him as a good pro, kudos. I questioned him as a pro and the early returns suggest I was wrong.

Wow... That's homerism 101!

In short, those other guys took on starting roles for their teams and didn't perform badly.

I would take Nate over Head

I figured he would be a real good pro, but I had no idea Paul would. I thought Felton/Deron would be the top 2 PG's. Oops

[Nicholasp27]

yeah, i always tended to like felton the most of the 3...but of course so far paul is winning

[Johnnybravo4]

What was homeristic about that statement, I was just not impressed with Head or Bogut. I didn't say Marvin should take their place.

Although I will say that Salim would have put up better #'s if he didn't have to give up time to Royal Ivey's sorry azz.

Yeah - the whole Ivey experiment seems like it was a waste of time now. Not that he's bad, but he sure doesn't look to be in the future plans if we're going to really improve.

Congrats to Marvin BIG TIME! And as a side note...

So far BK is 3 for 3 on 1st round picks making the all rookie team. Hopefully this run continues into next season with a big or a guard!
