Hedo the all star?

I think Hedo is one of those players that coaches appreciate more than fans do. I recall being startled last year when B Hill called Hedo "the best all-around player on the team." That was when he was having an ordinary year. When I thought about it, it made sense. If you observe the defense opposing coaches are putting on Hedo this year, you know they appreciate him.

I think the coaches will give Hedo a ton of love for his clutchness in the 4th quarter. He's averaging 6 points per game in the 4th and that's at least top 3 (he was leading in this category a month ago).

just remember for everyone saying that you have to play like an all-star for years to get there, Okur was voted in last year as a backup and Caron made it last year after not playing like an all-star for years prior...

one thing hedo has working for him, is that we have the 3rd best record in the east....other then that i think he is prolly behind bosh, pierce, butler, and maybe jefferson, add in the reserved guards billups, redd, carter/hamilton etc..only 12 spots i believe......our record and his cluthness could help him get in but i dont see it as 50/50

Like thief said, if he doesn't get it it'll be because of the sick amount of great players at his position. Any other position and he'd get a nod 100%. But I think with the way he's playing on all levels I really think he should get a call.

sick amount of brand-name players, not necessarily great this season

2. hedo is a better basketball player than...iguodala.[quote]

Yeah freaking right, I'd trade Hedo for Iggy and give a blowjob to a man in order to accomplish that trade.

Id consider it without the blowjob. Id rather have Hedo then dick in my mouth. Id rather have anyone in the league over dick in my mouth.

1. common misconception : an athletic player is better than a not-so-athletic player by default.
2. can iguodala create for others, can he hit the three at a respectable percentage, can he command double-teams especially if two of his teammates are all stars, is he 6'10"?
3. each person will have a personal set of evaluation criteria to determine players' worth.
4. the more the number of these criteria, the better and just the evaluation will be.

Hedo is a long way off from an All star.

but theres one more factor
Deng,Iggy,Wallace,Jefferson >are on losing teams
Not very often you get an all star invitation when Your team is losing
