Francis is a lock, unless of course he makes the real one. But what about Kenny? It's just been recently that he started getting playing time. If he keeps playing at this rate, he might get some attention. Hopefully, Rudy will play him more. This will give Barkley more rest, leaving him fresher for the long haul. What do you guys think? Do you think he'll make the team? [This message has been edited by thacabbage (edited December 04, 1999).]
I think if he does keep up his play then he will go. I hope he does, because this boy is going to be something.
cabbage, If Rudy keeps giving this kid some minutes, he would have to be considered. The kid can play, and deserves some minutes. But when Hakeem comes back, and Carlos, and Massenburg, where does that put Kenny? I hope Rudy gives him some time, he deseveres it. If he doesn't, then he may not make the Rookie All star game.
I don't see Francis making the real one, he would have to beat out Kidd, Payton, Stocton, Williams, and so on. And it seems that these things are voted a lot on name recognition and not necessarily who deserves it.
I dont think Stockton will get it. People want exciting players in the all star game. Stevie Wonder has a chance.
Man that guy named Kenny Thomas reminds me of one rookie, you know who that is? Lamar Odom! Kenny would definitely make the all rookie team once he gets more minutes and whips Odom's ass every time. Kenny nailed three consequtive 3s which were huge, if he keeps this up Sam Mack you can eat the food stamps!
Lets not get carried away, Odom is GOOD, he might even be better than Francis, we wont know just how good he is until later in their careers, now Kenny Thomas has been a nice pickup also but lets not get carried away here. ------------------ "We need to fockass".....Dream back in the day
no way Francis edges out Kidd, Payton, Williams. Maybe if those guys are injured. Or if Francis starts putting up really phenomenal MVP #s. Its hard to beat the hype.
