    You should vote for him ahead of FVV because nobody in the world is voting for FVV right now. Do i think he's an all star? Until 5 games ago he definitely was imo but i'm not gonna put too much stock into last 2 weeks and vote for him. I will also vote for Scottie Barnes and Wagner. What do we gain from him being an all-star? He could see himself as a star and act like one. It could be a massive boost for his progression. "I'm the only all-star on my team so i should get better". If him being an all-star gonna turn him into a beast for 10 games i'll gladly vote for him. We need everything we can get rn.

    if you watch the T-wolves you’ll see that Granpa Conley is their MVP. That team would disintegrate without Conley..

    Who else other than Triple J could possibly not make it this year in order to give Alpi a reserve spot? I assume it’ll come down to the COACHES choosing between those two guys.

    More than anything I think the coaches and the media votes will probably look at winning when considering dropping Jaren Jackson and instead voting for Alpi. I think it’ll take an even better winning record to change their minds and Alpi cannot be getting sat late in games because he cannot defend the pick and roll.

    I think he’s got a chance at making it as a reserve. No chance in hell of getting a starting spot with the fan vote only. Even Lin fans couldn’t get it done.

    So yeah.. he’s not getting in. His only hope that I see is to somehow win over the prior JJJ voters for the final big spot unless I’m missing someone else that is on the verge with Sengun.

    Then you have more inside information than I have, IDK who is up against him .....I am betting he is on the Injury Replacement List with Chet Holmgren.

    Chet Holmgren is also on the outside looking In I guess. You could argue he is just a rookie but his performances were mostly brilliant and contributed to winning.

    Other than the 5 point game against the Rockets. Multiple great performances against Golden State, Clippers, Spurs, Cleveland etc....

    definitely looked like the definition of an All Star and a decent 3 point shooter.

    I liked that Uncle Jeff is in there. I forgot to give him credit for the 15 points.

    Yeah probably not. I think he would have made it (and would have deserved to make it) if he continued playing like he did in the first ~15 games. Like if that version of Sengun was his new normal level of play, that's an allstar player for sure. That guy was better than Sabonis. But he's strung together some bad games (including some REALLY bad games) and now his average game is down to sub all-star level. I'll still vote for him but if I'm being objective he's not at an allstar level yet. Probably right below it.

    He spoke that fast and it sounded like Albert Eingoon.
