will a Jazzman make the All-Star game? (poll)

[NAOS]

curious about your predictions.
thanks for playing.

I predict we may have some players flowing with stats to make the team, but our record won't allow it. Voted no all stars

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I could see Jefferson making it.

 

[dipship31]

Probably none, but if we're around the 6 seed or so in the West and Al is putting up 20/10 I see the coaches bringing him in. I doubt anyone else on the roster would be putting up allstar numbers.

 

[Matthew Thomas Castleton]

I think that Paul Millsap might make it. I think he flourishes this year as our starting small forward.

 

[cctrackstar]

If we're talking about this year, I doubt anyone makes it. However, I voted Jafferson because of all the players, he will make the most sense, especially if he is really in as good of shape as he says he is. He is the type of player who puts up a lot of points, and he is still unstoppable in the paint.

 

[MVP]

If this is about this season then no all stars.

 

[Gameface]

Not being negative, just don't think a bunch of mostly unknown players on a small market team have a shot at being All Stars unless they put up MVP like numbers.

Let's look at last year's Western All-Stars.

Starters[3]
G Chris Paul
G Kobe Bryant
F Kevin Durant
F Carmelo Anthony
C Yao MingINJ 1
Reserves[6]
C Tim Duncan1 2
F Pau Gasol
G Manu Ginóbili
F Blake Griffin
F Kevin Love
F Nowitzki
G Russell Westbrook
G Deron Williams

Yao Ming is no longer in the NBA, so he won't get voted in.
Melo and Dwill play in the East now.
I don't see Tim Duncan and Ginobili making another All-Star game.

Everyone else will probably make the team again. I could see Gasol being ousted by someone (like Jefferson).
Zach Randolph and Lamarcus Aldridge are two forwards who I think may move into the open forward slots.

 

[Stoked]

While I think a guy or two on the Jazz may deserve to be in the allstar game I don't think anyone will make it. No one even remotely popular enough to win the fan vote and no one big enough to win coaches vote.

Wouldn't it be funny if the StarCraft world decided to force Hayward into the All-Star game?

 

[LogGrad98]

Our only chance is to be playing just over .500 ball, surprising a few teams along the way, then having the coaches vote someone in. My bet for most likely are:

AJ
Millsap
Hayward

But of course no one will get voted in by the fans. That never happens for the Jazz.

 

[sepanol]

Since making all star is all about stats Jefferson will make it if any jazz man

It is not about stats, it is about popularity, either with fans (in big market cities mostly, or big market countries like China) or with coaches. Either way, someone like Hayward or CJ could have numbers and not even be in consideration.

Keep in mind that Paul was averaging 21.5 Points and 9 rebounds going into last years all-star nominations, and he didn't even get NOMINATED, let alone chosen, or voted in. This was after the Miracle at Miami, so if anything his popularity around the league was at an all-time high.

Internet nerds could be a factor. That's how my boy Hillis made the Madden cover.
