Surprised that there are 4 centers in the first term and 4 guards in the second. Was the list always positionless or is that a recent change?

Recentish I think. Either last year or this year was the first year. They’re doing the same with all the teams I think. Hence Wemby, Chet in rookie team.

Does seem kind of ridiculous, not sure how you could play a 4 centre line up unless Davis and Wembanyama played the 3 and 4 as wings.

No idea where you play Bam.

Like the other awards this is the first year voting is positionless. It makes sense that center defenders are seen as more impactful but still a bit weird to see 4 centers for the first time.
