Its that time of the year again, the always highly anticipated (by nobody) All Handsome Team selections are here. This year Nick and Barry agree on hardly anything, so it will end up going to a public vote. To get in the mix and vote for your selection follow Talking Raptors on Twitter.

They run through their selection for the most handsome players at all positions, one sixth man and finally a coach.

P.S this was pre-recorded earlier in the month.

As always we hope you enjoy and we thank you for listening.
