So based on the math here, it appears Embiid got 12 first-team votes at center, plus an additional 45 as a forward, unless I’m missing something. So there was definitely an attempt to get him on First Team. So, he got more points than Tatum (last forward in) but less as a forward pic.twitter.com/Afzlre6jd8 – 8:37 PM

Embiid got more total points that Tatum, but Embiid must have gotten more votes at C than F, while Tatum got his votes as a Forward. So Embiid is classified as a C and moves to 2nd team. pic.twitter.com/EM4OcqYU3q – 8:35 PM

No real surprises for All-NBA teams. Joker had 88 first team votes and 12 second team votes, assumably as the second team center behind Joel Embiid.
