Are those the actual teams?  I was typing mine up as you posted. Castro got snubbed. He’s WAY better than Reed Bailey (dominated him head to head). Bailey just got votes for leading the league in scoring, but as LSF likes to say, nothing more overrated than the top scorer on a bad team. 

Also think Joe Bam shoulda got first team - VCU was so dominant that they deserve more than one guy on first team.

I got no issue with 2nd team for RC. Yeah, you could certainly construct an argument that he is better than Bailey, but in the minds of many, Castro was an unknown quantity and didn’t have the “name recognition” that would have better positioned him. I fully expect he will be a pre-season first team selection next year and a legit front runner for POY.
