First can anybody post the ESPN Insider article predicting the 10 most likely 1st time all stars.

http://espn.go.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/13520079/nba-spurs-kawhi-leonard-clippers-deandre-jordan-lead-list-likely-first-all-stars

Who do you guys see as first time all stars this season? I believe that these 5 have the best shot

Bradley Beal

Kawhi Leonard

Andre Drummond

Deandre Jordan

Goran Dragic

Can someone post who the ten are from the article? It says I have to become an "Insider" to see the list.

But anyways, here are my picks:

Jordan
Kawhi Leonard
Hayward
Vucevic
Drummond
Antetokounmpo (?)
Wiggins (?)
Isaiah Thomas (?)

Kawhi was finals MVP but never all star? Who gives a **** then? Just vote Yao and Iverson every year.

You can remove the questionmark from Giannis, he is become more and more comfortable with his shooting and knocks 3s consistently.
I know many love him at 4 but man, he is beasting at 3 lately.

7 for 44 (15.9%) from 3 last year. Or am I out of the loop and this is a troll account

giannis and hayward, kawhi, don't see DJ doing it, not sure pistons will be competitive enough for drummond to, same with wiggins. No one's mentioned jabari parker and I think he has a chance. Draymond Green? Serge Ibaka?

How do you not see Jordan doing it? Dude is a rebounding BEAST. He's been the rebounding leader for the past two years and if he keeps it up, he's definitely on pace to make it. Way more than Jabari, Ibaka, and especially Green.

They make a good point about Wiggins though. The All star game will be in Toronto and they will all be voting to get him there for that game.

Then why didn't he make it last year or the year before? I don't see him making it cause I'm not convinced the clips will be that great and bond after all the drama, I think there might be some friction and with better depth DJ probably won't be relied on as much and have as gaudy of stats. Green had a breakout season last year and if he continues to improve his shot and offensive game and the Warriors win some crazy amount of games before the break again I could see him/klay/steph all getting in way easier than I do DJ/Blake/CP3. Personally I'm on buck island and think they could very well be a top 3 seed in the east at the break and giannis and jabari both put up nuts stats to get them there, unlikely but possible imo. Ibaka idk, it's just weirder to me that he's never made it than DJ, but again that's just my personal opinion.

Kawhi Leonard barring some kind of injury is a lock to be a first timer next season imo. Beal is a good choice. Jordan could put up some ridiculous numbers and get in. Maybe even a guy like Draymond Green if the Dubs are atop the conference again and he is better than last season (I mean Korver and Teague were all-stars...).

Sleeper pick is Gordon Hayward. I think if the Jazz take the leap, even though it will probably have a lot to do with Gobert, he would get the nod from the coaches because he usually has good numbers.
