Is PG going to be an All Star?!

[aefgogreen]

I know it's early, but do we think he can keep up this level? If so, I have to imagine he makes it. And maybe LeBron doesn't.

I think a lot depends on if the Celtics remained the #1 or #2 seed. At that point they'd likely give two spots to Celtics players. However, there are a lot of big names who are either shoe-ins, very likely, or just as likely picks in the East. Off the top of my head:

1. Tatum
2. Brunson
3. Cade
4. Giannis
5. LeBron
6. Embiid
7. Brown
8. Maxey
9. Mitchell
10. KAT

Wildcards
11. Kawhi
12. Anthony Davis
13. Haliburton
14. Jalen Johnson
15. Scottie Barnes

[Silas]

Absolutely if he continues to put up his current numbers...22pts,5.2reb,3.8assists,2.1steals, and 44% from 3.

[Donoghus]

Absolutely if he continues to put up his current numbers...22pts,5.2reb,3.8assists,2.1steals, and 44% from 3.

And the Celtics remain a top 2-3 team in the East.

He's putting up nearly identical numbers to his last all star season.

I'm not sure LeBron is a shoe-in - the fan vote is only part of the starting five and the press isn't necessarily going to put him on

I expect Adam Silver will put LeBron on the team regardless of whether he is voted onto the team by the fans / press or not. Like he did with Dirk and D-Wade in their final season.

I don't think Silver allows LeBron to not be an All-Star. Silver will want him at every ASG until LeBron retires.

But that may mean Silver creates an extra spot on the team to put him in there if LeBron does not get in on merit. So he may not be taking a spot from anyone.

Yes, I could see it as an extra spot, definitely.

Right.  If he keeps up his current numbers, if he stays healthy, and if the Celtics are near the top of the conference I think he'll make it fairly easily.

Way too early for this but if the polls closed today, PG would likely be an all star.  As noted above, it sometimes depends on whether teammates make it or not.  Tatum will for sure, but then is White or PG the next Celtic?  PG right now would be and barring significant missed time, I think still at mid season.

I am wondering about PHI also.  Maxey and LeBron are both likely.  I don't know about Embiid, maybe, if he stays on the court.  But where would that leave Brown?  I don't think he is a shoe-in.  He may need to be the 4th Sixer.
