    I was gonna say Beverley shoulda been in, but looking at the list, I'd take all those guys over Bev.

    Congrats to T Jones! Much deserved!

    I would easily take Bev over a bench guy like Tim Hardaway Jr.

    Edit: Nevermind, just now realized Bev would have to supplant a sophomore (Beal, Lillard, Waiters, Barnes)

    Nobody knows who the teams are how can there be locks already? Shaq and Barkley can pick whoever they want, right?

    This year there are two pools and fans vote for the starters (2 guards 3 forwards), lineups revealed game day

    Edit: You are right, I guess we don't know what the pools look like (my mistake Voice of Aus)

    Giannis should dominate :cool: I really like Antic for a reason I can't quite put my finger on.

    Likely order of forwards to be picked:

    1. Davis
    2. Drummond
    3. Giannis
    4. Valanciunas
    5. TJones
    6. Sullinger

    Others: Antic, Plumlee(Mason, not Miles), Olynyk, Adams

    I guess he could get voted to start! It all depends on who is on his team


    btw, interesting that these guys are almost all Centers (SF/PF: Giannis, TJones, Sullinger +/- Davis)

    Giannis is really a natural SG and much more effective when he isn't forced to play forward.

    Looking at the selections, the have 8 Guards and 10 Forwards, half from each class.

    The rookie guards being MCW, Oladipo, Hardaway Jr., Burke.

    During the actual game, he could definitely slide over but there are very few guys who can play the 3

    Well deserved! I was hoping he would get picked but as the season grew one and he had some incredible games recently, I knew it had to happen. Guys, he is only 22 and he still has so much potential!

    When he first began playing more for us, I had hope he would be a Faried-type player. But, with his play recently and his potential to grow more, I can see him passing up Faried (if he hasn't already) and getting in to that fringe all-star territory with players like Josh Smith and Paul Millsap. Sure his shot isn't were anyone would like it to be but it's not horrible and looks to be fixable and you won't find handles on a big man like he has everyday.

    The sky is the limit for him, I truly believe so. Thankful the rest of the NBA is taking notice as well.
