Should the Jazz Have 3 All-Stars?

[Douchebag K]

By nearly every measure if Mike only misses another 1-2 games and we keep winning he should be selected

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

The answer to the threads question is a resounding YES.

Plus Caruso is the new Zaza Pachulia

If he moved to LA he would instantly be in the top 3 vote getters. Simply large market forces at work in the votes. That is why the votes are stupid.

You'd also stop hearing about how he disappears in the playoffs and only plays defense. Like magic it would disappear.

Only if Conley comes back and the Jazz stay keep playing and winning like this. But I think so, yes.

If it comes down to Conley or Zion guess who they pick?

 

[silesian]

I don’t think Booker is likely but not obvious. Cp3 and Booker might split a vote and they might both be out

Well if New Orleans is still a bottom-5 team in the West, that's a reason alone to not have Zion on the team.

Also, I hate hype. I know Zion is good, but I still think he's one of the most overhyped players I've seen in the last ten years. Also, what's with his garbage rebounding numbers? Dude should be a rich-man's Charles Barkley.

He plays with a dudes who get boards. Lonzo and Hart are both very active rebounding guards, Ingram is long as hell, and Adams is there. NOLA is 2nd in rebounding percentage behind Utah, so I don't think he's lacking on that end.

If you are fading Zion for anything it's defense.

Ingram deserves it, but I'd like Conley to get some kind of honorary spot, like when Dirk and Wade retired. Call it a wildcard

Ingram has no chance of getting it because of ZIon. Zion is clearly more deserving and no team with a losing record is getting 2 all-stars in the West.

No doubt, but that's never stopped someone from getting into the All-Star Game.

Also, to your point on rebounds, it is still hard for me to believe that that accounts for <7 rpg playing full minutes.

I think Conley has a decent chance of making it, nobody really wants the game this year but Conley has the one good narrative on offer for the league. Long time star player, having basically a career year on the top team in the league, it's Mike's time. Been reading and hearing ralk about it in national press and podcasts. Watch this space

All Star games are showtime games
Every body trying to do the impossible they would not attempt in an actual game
Mike does not seem like that type of player

You mean the guy that participated in - and WON - a ****ing H-O-R-S-E tournament?

More importantly, every player in NBA history would want to be an all-star at least once. I’d put my yearly earnings on that bet if it could be proven.

The NBA loves their young stars so there is no way Conley makes it in. It'll only be Rudy and Donovan again. Zion and Ja will make it in this year.
