It's that time of the summer. That's right, baby, time to look ahead to the crème de la crème, the best of the best for the upcoming 2006-07 season. Yes, injuries could impact this list (Arron Afflalo is already missing 6-8 weeks with a foot injury, but should be fine for the start of the season). I don't have freshmen on any of these teams because I'd rather see how they play on the court before we rank them.
I will go through my six All-America teams, one at a time. There will be a poll with each so your vote can be heard too…
