Jayson Tatum Says Joel Embiid’s Second-Team All-NBA Selection ‘Doesn’t Really Make Too Much Sense’

Celtics star Jayson Tatum commented on the All-NBA teams announced Tuesday after the final results sparked mixed reviews. The NBA world had issue with some selections on the coveted lists, specifically 76ers center Joel Embiid.

The Philadelphia center was named second-team while Nuggets star Nikola Jokiu0107 made first-team. Jokiu0107 was named MVP and Embiid was the runner-up for the award after leading the NBA in scoring. Tatum, who was selected first-team All-NBA, offered his suggestion on possible changes to the current format that didn’t allow two centers to appear on one All-NBA team.

“I do think it probably should be positionless,” Tatum said.
