Rudy Gobert All-Star watch

Simmons stats last year was much better than Rudy's stats this year and simmons could not make the all star game last year ; in a much weaker eastern conference as well. Doncic is arguably more deserving of an all star spot than Rudy this year, but he has not been picked either. Calm down jazz fans.

using some idiots' logic on this forum ( who downplayed Simmons's stats) ~ Rudy 's rebounds were mostly uncontested and most of his points came from dunks and 1~3 feets from the rim.
He can't shoot and does not have a jumper.
There are probably a few more deserving candidates than Rudy.

I think Simmons deserves to be an allstar. He is a great player

but you make me hate him. good job

I can’t understand you

fwiw I thought Simmons got robbed when he couldn't even get a replacement spot, but Simmons was not the DPOTY and leading the league in win shares last year. Not the same in the slightest.
 
Yea Rudy should be an all-star over KAT. TNT discussion said he probably didn't make it because Utah started out slow. No mention of having a brutal schedule and the fact that KAT is on a losing team. Jazz need to get Rudy more shots so he can score over twenty points and then maybe people will pay attention. Any coach who didn't vote for Rudy should ever preach defense because it is obvious they don't care about it.

I feel bad for Rudy but the All-star game is boring and I only watch it if the Jazz have a player in it so I guess I will have some free time that weekend.
 
I agree the slow start when Utah was "suppose" to start out as one of the premier teams after last year was like a balloon deflating and like it or not Gobert gets tagged with that. Undoubtedly he's playing dominant right now but the slow start hurt his chances .
 
I hate the idea of Gobert losing out on an all star nod because of the Jazz' slow start when KAT played like **** the first 10 games or so because Jimmy Butler was hurting his feelings and he visibly pouted on the floor when Butler was playing. Especially when Jimmy Butler got penalised in the East for the saga by not getting a spot, I don't see how KAT gets a pass for basically throwing games with his play while Butler was on the team because Butler is the bad guy but Gobert doesn't when he was actively trying and it was his guards that were letting him down.

edit: Donovan Mitchell should (rightfully) be penalised for the Jazz' slow start since his play from Oct - mid December vs his play in January in particular is night and day, but Gobert getting penalised for it too is garbage.
 
You also said Mitchel will not be better than Simmons because Mitchell will never average 20+ a season. How stupid was that?

no, I have never said that. If you can find such a statement uttered by me, I would give you $1000.
I did say Simmons is better than Mitchell in every facet of the game, except shooting from long distance

It is too time consuming to look it up so I am not going to bother, but you did say it.

I agree with everything. But Mitchell is better at long-range shooting and mid range. But Simmons is on another level
 
Coaches have no excuse to not vote Rudy in.

But..
Everyone knows its hard to get recognition in Utah... so starting the season off so slow and being involved in way too many blowouts has obviously come back to bite Rudy. And if that is the case then I have no sympathy, those 1st 2 months were garbage and inexcusable.
