    Okay. I know at the beginning of the season this question might have sounded absurd to many, if not to most of you. And it may still be....Nevertheless, Goran is 25 and about to become a starter somewhere (perhaps here) and Chandler, at 23, is kicking it into another gear with all - around game +.

    I feel they're both going to be capable of starting for a Championship team. And though making an All Star game is quite a leap from there, I'm going to say that at least one breaks out enough to earn a spot.

    So. Do either of these guys get to a chance to be in the center ring of the circus that is the NBA's halftime show?

    Slim to no chances.

    Though I do know one thing, if any other all-star player played Parsons' level of defense, they would easily receive all-defensive team honors.

    Then you should have voted yes.

    Dragic still has a lot of upside IMO. He DID learn from one of the best in Nash. He's flashed mad talent in the playoffs, puts up really good numbers in almost every start he gets here, and runs the team with an ease befitting a good PG. Plus, this is a position that takes awhile to develop.

    Besides his otherwordly D and feel for the game, Chandler Bang IS starting to drive and hit that outside shot with more regularity. This dude was SEC player of the year and is starting to do in the NBA what he did in college.

    They might be surrounded by even better players on a contender and that might hurt their chances.

    And I can see why many might think they'll just be decent- good career starters from here on in....Still....

    I voted yes, because I'm a fan, and it's my job to be optimistic. :grin:

    When healthy, Yao definitely made everyone better.

    Definitely never as a starter, and close to never, being picked by coaches.

    Not when you have people like Tony Parker, Steve Nash, Kevin Durant, etc.

    Depends.

    Has there been an influenza epidemic which has killed off the best 150 NBA players?

    Both are very good role players, not all-star material. Hope I am wrong.

    Parsons, hell yes. A no-stats all-star but not a real one :(

    Dragic has had games where he has looked amazing. If he can sustain that for an entire season, I can see it happening.

    To me Dragic has the best chance to make it, he has an attackers mentality, Parsons seems to be more of the quality role player type.

    You been smoking some serious green bro?

    Parsons is great but merely a role player.

    Dragic is no chance
