Rudy Gay and Micah Potter got a vote as well. Obviously teammates vote for other teammates and friends, looks like 60% of the league votes intentionally and 40% shoot off votes to teammates.
Still, could be a clue that Ochai's teammates like him, which is nice.
According to my sources, the player who voted for Rudy Gay was in fact Rudy Gay himself.

Even crazier: Chet Holmgren got 4 votes as well.

They basically stole the Jazz city jerseys from the past few seasons. . .
Pisses me off that we went from the City edition gradient jerseys - some of the most badass ones in the league - to the stupid highlighters. At least they realized that the old purple mountain jerseys are the best ones this season.

I was bored at work today and figured out how to fix the all-star game.
1. We are picking 40 all-stars. If you are 41, I don't want to hear about "getting snubbed." 40 is a pretty decent group to be included in.
2. We are dividing those all stars into 4 teams of 10 and are having a two day tournament. Winner plays winner and loser plays loser to determine 4th place.
3. The twist is that the winning team stays. They return intact (as much as is possible) to defend their crown the next year. All ten players are grandfathered into an all-star invite the next year.
I'd watch the Hell out of something like that.

probably because the the utah organization had a lot to do with the all star jersey designs...hence they are playing in...SLC
That's cool as long as no player from my team is on it. The season is already long and hard enough without extra games and injury risks.
Personally I think the game is fine. It's supposed to be a reward for the players and they can have a casual fun game. It should not be a competitive game. They probably should make it even more casual.
I think these will look good on the players, especially if the floor uses these colors as well.

Especially Lauri Markkanen. I’ve decided that I now want a #23 Markkanen gradient City Edition jersey.
