Everybody Loves Raymond......NOT

Well one guy loves Raymond Felton for sure, and that is Dickey Vitale. Vitale has released his 1st - 5th pre-season ALL-ROLLS-ROYCE teams:

Here are the final lists.

1st team: Raymond Felton, Julius Hodge, Hakim Warrick, Lawrence Roberts, Wayne Simien

2nd team: Chris Thomas, Rashad McCants, Francisco Garcia, Ryan Gomes, Sheldon Williams

3rd team: Chris Paul, JJ Redick, Keith Langford, Ike Diogu, Channing Frye

4th team: John Gilchrist, Gerry McNamara, Kennedy Winston, Ronny Turiaf, Luke Schenscher

5th team: John Lucas Jr, Bracey Wright, Sean Banks, Craig Smith, Paul Davis

Plenty of people will argue his lists. No doubt he continues to be a major homer for UNC and Duke. Luke gets a little love on the 4th team. No J.Jack or BJ Elder to be found. No doubt in my mind that Chris Paul should have been ranked ahead of Felton.

Here on a Kansas board, one fan did a breakdown of top PG's through the stats: Based on his point system, Jack tied for 4th best with A.Miles, C.Duhon and J.Gilchrist based on last season's stats. J.Jack holds his own the these statistical categories.
