    Sengun's last year allstar was robbed because of the terrible shooters around him, all his passes were wasted.
    Sengun with shooting will be like Jokic in the following years, he will be automaticly in that list...He wont be chosen, he was automaticly part of allstars...

    He’s not touching Jokic now, but someday, someone is going to write erotic literature of Sengun and Jokic touching each other. Someday..

    I think the western reserves will be

    G: Anthony Edwards
    G: James Harden
    F: Wemby
    F: Jaron Jackson Jr
    F: Anthony Davis
    WC: Jalen Williams
    WC: Alperen Sengun

    They actually should do something for role players.

    What I would do is this...

    Top two teams of each conference can vote one extra player in. So OKC, Rockets, Cavs, Boston, all get to send an extra player to the game because those role players are sometimes absolutely vital to top teams.

    Like if OKC didn't have Dort or Hartenstein they would be cooked. Not that they'd be 8th seed or something but they could not win a ring without those guys just like I don't think Celtics could do without Derrick White.

    So I'd just open up 4 spots for those guys, wouldn't hurt anyone, and would actually reward winning and being a good teammate.

    Make the call: Sengun in or out?

    Hollinger:

    Jackson Jr., Wembanyama, A.Davis, Jal.Williams, Edwards, Sabonis, Irving

    “Apologies here to Alperen Şengün — the best player in a hugely successful ensemble cast in Houston but not one of the best dozen in the West to my eyes — as well as Booker, Harden, Fox and Dončić. We’ll try to get you guys moved to the East next year.”

    Tim Bontemps/ESPN:

    Western Conference picks

    Starters
    G: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder
    G: Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors
    FC: Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets
    FC: Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs
    FC: Jaren Jackson Jr., Memphis Grizzlies

    Reserves
    G: Kyrie Irving, Dallas Mavericks
    G: Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves
    FC: Jalen Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder
    FC: Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers
    FC: Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento Kings
    WC: Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns
    WC: LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers

    “The most glaring omission from this team is any representation from the second-place Houston Rockets. Amen Thompson would be on this team if the résumés were contained to just this month's play, though center Alperen Sengun has the best argument over the course of the season. Houston's offense is seven points per 100 possessions better with him on the court, but his stats lag a bit behind Sabonis and aren't strong enough to lift him over James or Durant.”


    Two USA Today have Sengun in

    3/4 NBA.com guys have Sengun in

    They tried with Team US and had Kessler and White on it but then the Redeem team reconquered Gold with Durant, LBJ, Steph, Davis, Embiid.

    Fiba teams could deal with role players and All Star reserves.

    Next year, we will have at least two. Alpi and Amen.

    Maybe three, if we come out strong and Jalen brings it.
