Could you imagine if we got the All Star Snub?

The number isn't that much higher, but Killard's TS%/eFG% are much higher. And Win Share is one of the best indicators for Allstars, IMO. Isn't an all-star supposed to be the reason the teams are winning ball games?

I think if both Killard and Aldridge are playing at the same level until the All Star break, they are guaranteed a all-star spot. I think the Dark Horse is Matthews and Batum. That's if they end towards the all-star break with 38-40 wins.

 

I do believe that Westbrook is a shoe in, but I definitely don't agree that it's some blow out reason. Lillard has a edge over Parker, IMO; and a huge edge over Curry. There is no chance that Killard doesn't make it if he and his team keep this production up until the all-star break.

 

Not saying you. The general consensus of this forum.

I doubt Duncan doesn't make it. He's on the second best team in the west. They need at least one or two all-stars

 

He does not have better stats than Westbrook, he has less turnovers, a higher ft% and a higher 3pt% that is it.

Westbrook 21.0 PPG .411 FG% 5.8 REB 6.7 AST 1.9 STL 20.45 PER
Lillard 20.7 PPG .399 FG% 3.7 REB 5.8 AST .7 STL 20.05 PER

He is also not posting better numbers than Curry

Curry 24.3 PPG .465 FG% 4.2 REB 9.0 AST 1.8 STL 24.57 PER

His numbers are better than Parker but he still has to compete with Dragic, and Bledsoe.

He compares pretty closely with them minus FG% which is terrible. Biggest issue might be his sub .400 FG% and the extra 2 points in PER he is giving up to Bledsoe or the 1.5 he is giving up to Dragic.

 

Guess you missed all the Advanced Stats I posted. Rookie mistake, thinking only fan-type numbers only count

 

I was thinking about Dirk..... do you really think he's a lock at this point though?

 

So many bigs though....

Howard
Griffin
Aldridge
Love
Duncan

The funny thing, to me, is that there are no centers anymore. There aren't any centers or shooting guards. Kobe is getting in because of the fans, so Harden is the only guy who is making it on his own efforts. It's all point guards and power forwards.

 

I hear what you're saying, but I don't think they should have done away with the "center" spot for All-Stars. I think that position involves so many things that don't show up in a box score, and a guy like Rolo doesn't get the credit he deserves. He might not average 20 points, but he has been so vital to what we're doing. Does he deserve to be an All-Star? He's likely never going to average the 20 and 10 he'd need to be an All-Star, so I wish they'd give AT LEAST a couple spots to centers.

 

The first sign a veteran has been in the game too long the overlook obvious stuff.

Like Curry murders Lillard in all your advanced stats. TS% 60.3 to 56.6, 24.57 PER to 20.05, efg% .555 to .491 WS 4 to 3.7 plus in the traditional stats is also not close.

He also trails Bledsoe and Dragic most of your advance stats so while the Advanced numbers make Lillard more comparable with Westbrook he likely will not get selected over him.

 

Is someone saying that Dame will be chosen over Curry or Westbrook? I think I said those two were most likely locks. I think Lillard can beat out Parker, and I highly doubt Dragic or Bledsoe make it.

 

I am not sure on that most people thought the Suns would be the worst or second worst team in the NBA not competing for the playoffs. Bledsoe and Dragic are both putting up great numbers so if the Suns continue to win I would certainly think they would garner consideration.

 

Killard putting up monster numbers again
