Got to agree with you pretty much right down the line on these. You did bring up a point about Zion in your reasoning on why Halliburton gets the nod for 3rd team over him that bugs me so much -- how the HELL is someone playing Zion's position, with his physical gifts, such a PATHETIC rebounder?
I honestly just think rebounding is a skill. There's more to it than simply effort, although that's of course a big part (and coaches will always tell you effort is a skill, too!).
But there are some guys who have a knack and some who just don't.
A very reasonable opinion. I had Jokic as the #1, obviously, but I had a really hard time between SGA and Luka at 2. There are enough arguments in everyone's favor that it really just comes down to which strengths you prioritize more.

I could ask the same question about Jaren Jackson Jr. TBH.

Considering that one of the greatest rebounders ever (Dennis Rodman) was a 6'7" beanpole... you've got a point.
Good choices, though I think Doncic is extremely close to Joker for MVP.
