This is a quantitation of it but it shows the opposite of what we expect..

Suck it up.
Wiggins is absolutely not better than Steve Franchise (relative to their era)
Only the 15 West head coaches have a chance to vote him as a reserve. The players voted KAT 7th best front court player in the West.Sothron wrote:Absolutely disgusting that a fourth option got voted in and a true superstar in KAT now has to hope the coaches/players put him in. What a joke.
Reserves aren't announced until next week.Best2EverDoIt wrote:I'm just here to complain about the fact that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having a much better season than Wiggins and wasn't even named a reserve. Insane.
It's 3 frontcourt and 2 backcourt.bwgood77 wrote:Does the ballot allow for people to vote for more than 1 center? I see why this happened if you can only vote for 1 center with AD, George and Kawhi injured.

Gobert - is having a down year for him and overall utah is not playing above expectations even if they are a very good team. Will likely make the team.
Bridges - in the east so doesn’t matter.
Towns - I’d agree he probably deserves it but also he does have limitations/Edwards has just as much of an argument as KAT but that team isn’t good enough to warrant 2. Will likely make the team.
Edwards - a guard so doesn’t matter. Will likely make the team.
A down year for Gobert is still much better then current Wiggins. I meant the Suns' Bridges who brings more overall value than Wiggins due to defense. Edwards is generally at SF for the Wolves (though perhaps was listed at guard for all-star voting).

Embarrassing for both sides.

NBA doesn’t care about who deserves it, they care about how many people watch the game.

I can trust both Demar and Andrew to be high impact on both sides of the ball. Thats a bit funny 2 me, idk.
