Who is that player that is going to jump out and make a case for All-Star selection?

Someone we didn't see coming...

My pick would be Franz Wagner.

I can see the Magic having a good record come the all-star break and as a result Franz and Paolo get selected in the East...

Who's your pick?

Jordan Poole. Narrative + PPG.

I keep saying this and getting downvoted in threads, but he's going to be putting up insane numbers as a #1 option to the point where defense might not matter as much, unless his bad defense narrative takes over.

What narrative?

[–] wallowsworld@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some silly narrative like “The Wizards suck ass but since he happened to drop 25+ more than twice before All-Star Weekend then that means he’s carrying them.” Or something like that.

Yeah, Everyone knows he’s a chucker with no defense. Beal had a hard time making an all star in WAS. I don’t see Poole making it.

Hes popular and he's going to get even more popular because people who don't like the Warriors love JP.

His teammates already complaining about him in preseason. That’s gonna kill his odds.
