If he's healthy, Drew is by far the best center in the West, possibly the entire league. Even if he weren't playingm with Yao gone Bynum will likely get the votes due to the popularity of the Lakers. Assuming Dallas gives him a new contract I'd expect Tyson Chandler to see a bump in votes but not enough to overcome Drew, same thing with Marc Gasol over in Memphis (assuming he doesn't move East as well).

This is last year's ballot: http://www.allstarnba.es/ballot/

Assuming Drew doesn't level Yi Jianlian anytime soon the way he did Barea and Beasley this year, my guess is that he'd be a shoe-in out West.

Fans vote for players who have "showtime" value or those who are really good. Bynum doesn't fit both.

I'm expecting Chandler but it'll probably be Bynum. Because he's a Laker.

:lol:

I get what you mean. I'm still waiting for his consistency. No doubt he's "good", not yet "really good" ala Pau good.

Dirk doesn't even get voted in anymore, if Chandler makes it it's as a back-up.

Anyone think Demarcus Cousins could give Drew a run for his money next season?

I would like for Bynum to play a full season and playoff's. Until then he does not deserve to be an all-star...

durability is a criterion to be considered, not just skills. and yeah, with that attitude no way Cousins can overtake Bynum.
