Can't argue too much. Washpun could have been 1st team as well if they took 6.

Very surprised no Deontae Hawkins on 2nd team. Paris Lee should have been 2nd team over DAP

Washpun has, nearly, identical stats to FVV, who most believe should be POY but can't crack 1st team?

I would've put him on it and moved Beane to 2nd team

Really splitting hairs

That was my thought too. But in the end it's not a big deal.

Maybe they should've left the spot open and used Friday's game as the determining factor

[UNIFanSince1983]

I think Washpun deserved to be on the All-Defense team, but I guess I don't really know who you take off. Just like Washpun probably could be 1st Team, but again it is tough to take any of those guys off there.

Here are my picks. I didn't think many of these were very controversial this season.
