So. Is D-Mo a future all-star if he keeps improving like he is?

    Late thread. Sorry.

    I can't stop thinking about how this series would've been different if D-Mo and Bev were healthy. But what do y'all think?

    If he stay healthy like he was before and he has pretty good chances to be an all-star. He is really unique player with his post moves, passes and 3 point shoot capability.

    He has been a professional basketball player for a number of seasons and has been in the NBA for three seasons. I do not see any reason that he is suddenly going to become an all star. Especially with the depth at the power forward position.

    Blake, Anthony Davis, Aldridge, Duncan and Dirk were west all star forwards this year.

    Duncan and Dirk are declining, but then there are guys like Draymond Green improving.

    Who will he outplay?

    But I do agree how there are amazing PF's in this league.

    I don't see it happening either, but he'll be a a really good player though. He was arguably the 2nd most important scorer during some stretches of the season. Who the heck knows how different the POs would be had he played...

    no. he can become a solid player if he improves and is able to maintain consistency but he's not going to turn into some all star.

    No, he's going to be a superstar!!! :rolleyes:

    Haha, no I think he'll be a big contributor to the team but definitely not an all-star. We really missed him though.

    He can still become a good player but it's tough making the all-star team.

    He is almost the same age as James Harden.... good chance that if he was going to be an all star, he would have flashed that possibility by now. Also his rebounding is very poor for the 4 spot.

    I hope I am wrong, sometimes a player later in his career becomes an all star.

    He can be a later blooming all star like Millsap. It's not impossible

    No - he is a poor rebounder and his post moves are grossly overrated. He will be fortunate to be a reliable rotational guy.

    Absolutely, but that's a pretty big if. Personally I think at some point he'll hit his ceiling and it'll be just short of that.

    Either way the combination of his height, post moves, 3 point shooting, offensive awareness, and defense is pretty rare.
