Considering All-NBA Candidates

I’m thinking about creating a provisional list of perennial All-NBA candidates and the criteria for it. With the transition to a positionless format for the All-NBA starting in the 2023-24 season, I need to mention the new 65-game minimum. Players like Jokic, Luka, Giannis, and Embiid are certainly MVP-level choices, alongside rising stars like SGA and Tatum. It seems like I should also include veterans like LeBron and AD, and some emerging talents!Clarifying All-NBA Teams

I'm trying to finalize the All-NBA teams. I believe the Second Team features players like Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard, while the Third Team might include LeBron James and Stephen Curry. However, I need to confirm that Embiid is ineligible due to games played. The user asked about the best-performing stars this season. If they mean this season, I can provide insight based on two seasons' trends and consider various metrics.

I'll create a tiered list of players, starting with top-tier stars and including standout defenders, while noting the 65-game minimum requirement.Crafting All-NBA Tier Lists

I'm thinking we could pull the latest stats if the user provides a specific date, or if they want me to run some calculations. Although I can't access the network, I can suggest they let me. For now, I’ll create a concise tiered list, noting the rules like the positionless format and 65-game threshold.

I’ll include a core MVP-level group and a second tier of strong contenders while mentioning defensive anchors, ensuring to keep it streamlined and clear.Focusing on Players' Defense and Efficiency

I'm considering players like Tyrese Maxey and Scottie Barnes, who seem to show promising improvement this season. De'Aaron Fox might also be an option for notable progress. For suggestions on picking players, I should consider wins, offensive and defensive contributions, on/off stats, and overall availability.

I also want to clarify the user's request: if they mean this season up to today, I can create more detailed rankings based on their favorite teams or players after confirming the timeframe. Keeping it concise sounds good!
