    Flip Saunders, who will coach the Western All-Stars, pointed to Andrei Kirilenko as an example of how pro basketball has changed. "A guy like that, you'd think he is 6-foot-5 the way he plays and moves," said Saunders, the Timberwolves' coach for nine seasons.

    This is a all star notes article, but the Praise from Flip might mean Andrei will get a lot of minutes off the bench. He's getting a lot of praise from coaches this season and they voted him in to the all star game, so the Jazz might get a few trade offers for him(not that they'd except them).
