Capela Should be an All Star this Season. (With Highlights from Pelicans Game)

Sure, per minute isn't particularly relevant to all star game considerations, but the per 36 stats point out what a beast he is if allowed to (or required to) play big minutes.

 

Good point. Maybe he's not an allstar, but he's certainly capable of bigger performances. We're on the same page there.

 

They don't play defense in all star game

 

Clint is the perfect center for this team. Given his responsibilities and ability to follow through on them, you might not take anyone else in his spot regardless of salary.

That being said, if you were building a team from scratch you would easily prefer Jokic KAT or Gobert in the West. Gasol is older but still better right now. Cousins I’m not sure I would touch given his oncogenic properties.

 

He is very agile for his size. He has improved every season and has established himself as a solid starter in the league. I think he still has an upside.

 

What percentage of Capela's points does Capela generate? I'd be curious to know the number. I'm guessing < 15%.

When you see a football team that always has a good running game, it means its not the running back and its the offensive line. Nene and and Black are doing better than expected just like Clint, this probably means its the system and not Clint.

I'm not saying Clint is bad just not all-star worthy. his defense is way better.
