This might come as a surprise, but you're not elected to all star games based on what coaches foretell your performance will be for the seven years after the game. :D

I've already said he was worthy of being an all-star (not that he actually was, but you're going crazy on that with me saying he is, I can't imagine how you'd be acting if I said he wasn't). Clearly you're just not reading well enough here. You have on multiple occasions when defending your boy said something like "all of his lottery picks were all-stars". Essentially meaning that if you make an all-star game you're a good draft pick. That's extremely horrible logic though. Wally is an above-average player for his career. He was taken in what has to be one of the deepest drafts ever. There were multiple players taken after him, including the four players taken directly after him, that are clearly better players. He was not a good pick, and saying that he made an all-star game is not a valid argument against that.
