My picks for the All Star reserves Western Conference: James Harden (I believe that he will be Kobe's replacement. So not exactly a reserve here) Dwight Howard Damian Lillard Anthony Davis Lamarcus Aldridge Klay Thompson Tony Parker Goran Dragic Eastern Conference: Roy Hibbert Joe Johnson John Wall Luol Deng Chris Bosh Demar Derozan Joakim Noah
Dragic absolutely deserves to get in. The TNT crew made a big deal about each winning team getting one but didn't even bring up the Suns. Grant Hill brought it up for a second and they all ignored him.
Western Conference G: James Harden, Chris Paul F/C: Dwight Howard, Lamarcus Aldridge, Dirk Nowitzki Free: Damian Lillard, Tony Parker (Injury backup for Kobe: Goran Dragic) East Conference: G: John Wall, Lance Stephenson F/C: Roy Hibbert, Chris Bosh, Joakim Noah Free: Demar Derozan, Paul Millsap
Harden Howard Aldridge Paul Lillard A. Davis Cousins Snub: Jordan, Nowitzski, Parsons, Parker, Duncan, Dragic Hibbert Stephenson Bosh Noah DeRozan Wall Millsap Snub: Lowry (5 starting guards!), Drummond
West G Harden G Paul F LMA F Jordan F Howard WC Lillard WC Davis over Nowizki who is more deserving but it's in NOLA Crazy to not pick a Spur but they are really the no-star team G Lowry G Stephenson F Drummond F Noah F Bosh WC Hill WC Derozan
West: Aldridge Davis Harden Howard Lillard Parker Thompson? East: Bosh DeRozan Hibbert Millsap Noah Stephenson Wall
Dragic is more valuable to the 24-17 Suns than Thompson is to the 26-17 Warriors. Plus his stats are all-around better. Dragic - 21.24 PER (Harden level) vs Thompson - 14.08 (less than Lin).
Yeah but so do CP3, Curry and Lillard. I'd even put Parker and Westbrook (healthy) ahead of him. He probably would be ahead of Wall on my Eastern reserves.
East - who cares? West - G - CP G - Harden F - Aldridge F - Howard F - Davis WC - Parker WC - Dirk/ lillard Replacement pick - Dirk/ lillard
