Cade Cunningham (more of a dark horse)
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
I agree with Franz but ti name someone else, I will say Nic Claxton
He has the fan support
Anfernee Simons
Mikal Bridges.
Not surprising at all, he's a top 5 small forward in the league.
Doris Burke
tyler herro aka vanilla sky
Don’t think it’s really a surprise cuz he could’ve made it last year but Desmond Bane gon put up numbers with Ja gone and I think they’ll be pretty good without him too. Give me Bane
Desmond Bane will shoot the lights out during the Ja Morant suspension and sneak into the last spot
I could see Desmond Bane getting some All-Star considerations with Ja being out for the first 25 games. He puts up good counting stats, plays great defence and I think the Grizzlies could start the season strong which could give him some nods. It'll be tough in the West, but I could see him landing a reserve spot.
Scotti3
Jordan Poole. Narrative + PPG.
His teammates already complaining about him in preseason. That’s gonna kill his odds.
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?
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.
Zubac.
He hasn't been an All-Star in 5 seasons so I think he works here, but my vote is Porzingis. I think the Celts are going to win a lot of games and Porzingis' efficiencies will skyrocket playing next to the Jays. If he repeats his stats last year with better efficiency and on a 1 seed or 2 seed it will be hard to keep him out of the All Star team.
I just feel like Porzingis has been so impressive in the preseason it’s completely feasible he puts up better numbers than Jaylen Brown. In terms of talent, I take KP above JB. It’s just health and consistency.
Good call. I can see it.
Zinger would be a surprise thats for sure.
desmond bane. won’t be that surprising though.
I'd be very surprised if Vassell was an all star. He is going to surprise people with how good he is because apparently tons of people had never heard of him which is very strange to me. But he relies way too much on his outside shot and while he's not bad on defense, he isn't very good either.
Also you guys are probably going to lose a ton of games this year lol
Would Dejounte be a surprise?
Id like to think kuminga could, but i dont know how far out touch of reality that is lol
Derrick White
Yea that would be a huge surprise. He’s damn good but he have to make it over jrue and/or porzingis unless Celtics are the first team ever with 5 all stars
Austin Reaves, because of the Lakers fan voting bump.
Based purely on play? Jalen Williams.
John Collins
Maxey
Jaylen Brunson will hopefully make the team. He'd be a bit of a surprise since the guards in the east is pretty stacked.
Mobley
Scottie Barnes. I think the raptors start surprisingly well this season with the new looking offense.
Tyrese Maxey, bro is gonna cook under Nick Nurse
It would be a player in the east.
SCT BRN
Tyler Herro. If the Heat have a top 4/5 record and he’s scoring 20+ a game I think he can crack the lineup. Lillard, Brunson, Halliburton and Trae are really his only competition. I don’t think Harden with the current shenanigans will get in, Boston has 2 all stars already, LaMelo’s Hornets’ record won’t be great.
Yup it’s gonna be Herro, and people will be shocked even though they shouldn’t be
tingus pingus
Jalen Williams
Wemby is gonna be an All-Star
Porzingis
This thread is just players who are borderline all stars.
Give me Josh Green. Breakout next to Kyrie and Luca.
