The Jays are locks to make this year's game, imo.

I think if we maintain the best record in the league through All-Star selections, we should get a 3rd guy in the ASG. Who do we think it is? I'm leaning towards KP.

it might not be fair to DWhite, but most likely KP.

Voted for Zinger, as I don't think Jrue or White really have a shot despite being deserving (at least White).

But realistically, I doubt we get a third one in there. Zinger's games played will likely hurt him with the coaching staff and may be a tiebreaker used against him.

That is true, the games played might pull KP out, but honestly he deserves it just like white

Jaylen's abysmal performance against the champs tonight should have them drawing a line against his name. 1-9 from 3 and 2 missed FTs in winning time, ouch.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

he had a really bad game, but he has been really good for the last 7-8 weeks.  I don't think he is losing an all-star spot because of tonight

JBs been great. Definitely an all-star. KP deserves it and DW does too - just a notch below KP.

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Is this just your personal thing against brown because what he gets paid?
Zero chance KP or White are all stars over him.

On a side note,  Austin Reaves being on the Top-10 of the list for Western Guards is laughable.

Also not sure why Porzingis is low. If the argument is games played, Jimmy Butler has played 4 fewer games and is like #4 on the list.

If I had to guess, it'll just be the Jays. If there was to be a 3rd due to injuries/tiebreakers, Porzingis too.

Marketing plays a big role. I had no idea KP was such a charismatic dude until he got here. Look at Jaylen, too - he should have more fan votes imo, but he's terrible at marketing himself for whatever reason. He's going on 3 years without an official sneaker deal, which is endorsement 101 for basketball players. Compare that to Tatum who has a signature sneaker with Jordan Brand and endorsement deals with Gatorade, Subway, and Ruffles to name a few.

KP is hurt too often, missed too much time. For that reason alone I voted White.

I think we only get two.  The league is just too strong.  I do feel that they should move to 15 all stars on each time.  The league is bigger and their is more depth than in the past.  Plus, rosters are now 15.  People will always get left off, but I think it would be more representative of the league.  You could play five different players each of the first three quarters and use your best five for the fourth.

Tatum's a lock, Brown is likely, but I think we'd have to see a lot of injury replacements before White or KP get a nod.  Would love to see it for them though.
