The EuroLeague announced the All-EuroLeague First Team on Monday. While some selections were looked at as obvious picks, some players were welcomed with raised eyebrows.

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv guard Wade Baldwin IV was not happy after not being included in the team. He then took to Twitter to voice his opinion.

He wrote down the numbers that support his case as a member of the All-EuroLeague First Team. He's first in points, rebounds, and PIR among guards, he's also first in assists and points generated in the playoffs as well as second in points and PIR.

As a member of a Top-5 regular season team, Baldwin felt that he deserved to be selected.

Interestingly, the EuroLeague did not follow the traditional path of naming two guards, two forwards, and a center. Instead, two centers and two forwards, if we count Dzanan Musa as a forward, were picked.

As an alternative, Wade Baldwin constructed his own All-EuroLeague teams:
