Keyonte George’s Star Ascension
- Thread starter Elizah Huge

Is there a chance Keyonte makes the all-star game this year?
I don't think so. Lauri might not even get in the All Star game.
I’d be shocked if Lauri doesn’t with the new format.
From what I've heard it's basically between him and Deni, and I think Deni might be the favorite.

That leaves three spots between Lauri, Sengun, Giddey, Deni, and Murray. Am I missing anyone? I’d say Lauri has a really good shot.
They still will pick 12 East and 12 West, which makes Giddey more likely. Sengun is probably a lock, which brings you to Lauri and Deni.
I don't know, I haven't personally broken it down, but when listening to national pods they either didn't have Lauri in the All Star game or had a discussion on him vs Deni.
I don't think he's a lock.

Neither Lauri or Key will make it because we're tanking.
Here's an article for example, a little old, but breaks it down ok. He doesn't have Lauri as an all star.

Probably not but at the pace he’s going he’s going to be averaging 26-28 points a game by the time allstar weekend rolls around
Well it’s the national media that ignores Utah all together but I’d imagine Lauri is more on the allstar radar than Deni. IMO but I could be wrong I guess.

Keyonte is 19th in the league in scoring at 24.1 PPG, and doing it on 61 TS% now. He's scoring at a higher TS efficiency than Booker/Brunson/Maxey/Luka.
Cherry picked stat, but still given his efficiency his first two seasons I am blown away with what he is doing under his load. Genuinely never been more surprised by a Jazz player's leap.

No they aren’t
They have demonstrated that they know they have to, but like two and three years ago, just being cowards about it.
Nah. Lauri still has the stats advantage and a bad team isnt getting two in.
Yeah, it’s wishful thinking but Lauri should make it for sure.
I'm not sure how they balance east/west with US/world selection, but I could see Lauri getting a nod ahead of Franz Wagner with Wagner being out injured.
That’s almost jokic level
You mean the two of them combined?
