I'm just curious does anyone see a future all-star/superstar on our current roster? Now i know superstar is a REACH but i figured throw it in there. Most of our team is filled with young talent and developing prospects, so i pose the question "Will any of them garner All-star appearances"?

No superstars, but I expect Jeff Green and KO to become All-Stars at some point.

I think Jeff Green has a chance and I would not be surprised if Bradley eventually turned into one (queue the hate in 3-2-1)
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Nope.

Edit:  I could actually see Sullinger make an all star game or two if he can stay healthy and keep progressing.  I don't think he ever makes an all star game, but if I had to put money on someone, it would be him.

I don't think Green will ever be an All Star just because Forward is so loaded in the East.  Even if he plays better than say Carmelo for instance, he will lose the vote on pure name recognition.  I could see him making it in two years if he plays great that whole time, we can put a good team around him to raise his profile and one of the other guys gets injured.  Of course by then, he'll probably be competing with Parker and Wiggins, though

I completely agree on your take on Jeff Green, i think depending on our draft pick placementthis upcoming off season DA will have a huge decision on JG future. I also think he's way too streaky to become an all-star.

KO however, i truly feel is the STEAL of the draft. In 3-4 years he can definitely become an all-star. Due mostly to lack of PFs in the East.

not really.  Green will be lucky if makes one all-star game in his career.  Unless Oly becomes the next Dirk or Sully becomes the next Barkley, no one on this roster (other than Rondo) even gets considered for that A-S game

Those are my choices as well.  I'm picking Avery for perennial All Defensive team. 

DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

I expect Green to be a borderline AS--the guy who gets named as a replacement after the second voted-in AS pulls out because of injury.

Do you feel that way? Cuz i think he's the best PG in the league IMO but a definite top 3. He's a superstar

Jeff Green will be given the opportunity to score this season. A lot. Whether his overall game will merit an all-star nod or not, he will score a lot of points and he will have as many highlight reel dunks as most anyone in the east besides Lebron James.

If he steps up and has an Iguodala-like season, playing excellent defense, getting a few more rebounds, and scoring 20 pts a game, he could do it. Pierce, Garnett, and Deng are all unlikely to get all-star selections next year. That means that your forwards will be Carmelo, Bosh, James, George, and a wildcard.

There's a lot of competition for that wildcard spot. He would have to beat out some other very good players in Josh Smith, Jimmy Butler, Paul Millsap, and David West.

I agree with you. If Sullinger stays healthy and improves his body a bit... both big ifs- I think he will have some 18-11 type seasons and be in the mix.

Yeah, but when you consider that Josh Smith has never made an all star it takes a lot to get there.  As I said, I don't think anyone on the roster will ever make an all star game, aside from Rondo of course, and frankly I'd be surprised if he gets back there in the next couple of seasons (though do expect him to be an all star again).
