The favorites for the regular season awards have started trickling out, and it appears Anthony Davis will not make the 2016 All-NBA team. If this indeed comes to fruition, Davis will fail to invoke the Rose Rule and hence forfeit in the neighborhood of roughly $24 million dollars, settling for $121 million over the next five years instead of $145 million.
Less than a month ago Kevin Pelton believed Davis had built a solid case for inclusion because the majority of his minutes came at the center, the weakest position in the NBA.
