<p>I wanted to touch base again on this prediction team as I did with my All-EDC article. Coaches nominate their players and then the league coaches vote on a set number of players to put on the team. This is all subjective to how each coach values players and talent. Some consider team records. Some consider a player being a member on last season's All-WDA team. Some place value on points-per-game while others look more closely at shooting percentages. I am thinking like how I predict these coaches' meetings go and not necessarily on who I think are the best players.</p>
