    No.

    Harden
    Westbrook
    Dame
    Mitchell
    Conley
    Murray
    Booker
    Morant
    DLo(massive garbage stats coming)

    Pretty much any combination of those guys in the WC would get the nod over giving pdx 2 all star spots.

    Depends on our record going into all star. If we are top 3 in the west then yes I think this is the year both Dame and CJ make it!

    Dame, Russ, Harden, 1 of Conley/Mitchell--that'll be 4 guards. Good chance there's not more than 5. Booker and Lou Williams get in ahead of CJ.

    Harden and Russ are both on China enemy number 1 now. How does that affect their chances?

    Coaches won't care. As long as their seasons are decent, they'll get in.

    if Curry has a non-displaced fracture that doesn't need surgery, he could be back by mid-December. Now, the Warriors won't be in a hurry to get him back and by then they might be thinking about how the Spurs got Duncan, so who knows how they'll handle him. But if Curry is back 1-2 months before the all-star game, he'll be an all-star

    and, CJ is going to have to play a hell of a lot better than he has so far. He has almost as many turnovers as assists and his TS% is at Evan Turner level

    besides all that, as others have said, Dame, Harden, & Westbrook look like locks. Jamal Murray, Conley/Mitchell, & Lou Williams will likely have as good (if not better) an argument as CJ. And right now, Devin Booker, is playing great, and kind of looks like a lock too. And there's DeMar DeRozan. Also, if PG13 comes back and the Clips use him as a guard (unlikely?), there's another lock. But yeah...it's way too early

    No way. Not even a close call. MAYBE if he played in the Eastern Conference.

    Bigger question: Is this the year Dame gets his first ASG start?

    I think Dame gets in and CJ’s got like no chance.

    Coaches pick CJ over Russ, at least the educated ones.

    Could Dame start over Russ? Not impossible... that would be exciting.

    If we are top 3 record I 'd say CJ has a good chance, if not then no. Our schedule is hard to start the year so that will be a difficult record to have by ASG.

    Is this thread a Halloween prank; maybe the OP didn't see this chart posted earlier today?

    This is from an old Tom Haberstoh coplumn; I think it was titled CJ is a garbage-time all-star.:
    Fun fact: McCollum is a card-carrying member of the 50/40/90 shooting club -- as long as we’re talking about garbage time. (For those who don’t know, the 50/40/90 shooting club is reserved for those who shoot at least 50 percent from the floor, 40 percent from deep and 90 percent from the line. This is the elite of the elite). The Portland shooting guard is shooting 51 percent from the floor, 42 percent from deep and 91 percent from the charity stripe in these blowout situations. He fits the same profile as Thompson -- an elite shooter who rarely gets to the free-throw line. He’s also someone who, until last postseason, had struggled to put up the same caliber of numbers in the postseason as the regular season.

    McCollum is still a super talented scorer in tighter situations (21.4 points per 36 minutes), but he finds himself on this list because both his usage and efficiency rise when the game’s stakes are lowest. This is best illustrated by his whopping 25.4 points per 36 minutes in garbage time. The Blazers would probably benefit by figuring out how to have McCollum more involved in crunchtime simply to lessen the burden on Damian Lillard and make the offense more democratic.

    Thanks for reposting this.
    To those not tracking:
    Top Right quadrant means "two-way" player.
    Bottom Left quadrant means "zero-way" player.

    I'm sure CJ will get better, but right now he's playing like a very bad contract.

    Actually, wouldn't it be top right quadrant that is a solid two way player?
