Lots of solid names here-which of these guys is most likely to make their first AS team this year?

White and Giddey

White should find a way.

Celtics gutted their entire team, if they can just have a decent record, he should get the nod from one of the 3 ways to get selected.

Franz Swagner. He would've been last season if it wasn't for his injury.

I think Derrick White will ball out this year. I’m generally high on Giddey but he has basically always started out slow to start the year

This. Both him and Paolo would have been All-Stars if it wasn't for injuries. Franz after Paolo went down, was All-NBA level.

If the Magic stay healthy, knock on wood, they should both be in there and if they are top 2 seed, Bane or Suggs could sneak in with them.

Franz or Johnson

Franz is due. I think all options in a poll are good options, I really like Derrick White, but I think Derrick White phenomenon is, he is amazing when he is your 3rd 4th best starter, if he is your second or first best starter, and I am not sure it will be that great. So I wouldn't count on him I think.

I think Franz is first here, than JJ and then Mikal Bridges.

If the magic are top 3 they are getting 2 all stars. Just depends who is there with Paolo between Franz & bane.

Great list. I think Derrick White is the most likely, as they'll be a lot of attention on the Celtics.

Call me crazy but I voted Miller. Hornets drafted well and I'm leaning to them overachieving this year, particularly in a wide open East. Could conceivably see Miller on the 25ppg tier and garnering a lot of attention.

Poll sensible for once, Franz and Johnson are young, very talented and improving players on improving teams that coulda been All Stars already without injuries. No brainer. Heck they are even something as rare as All Star calibre two way players. Derrick White is 3rd.

Really tough to see that. They have nothing resembling an NBA starting center which is going to hurt them even if they stay healthy. If they do stay healthy enough to be around .500 (a huge upgrade from last year) then Ball will get the ASG spot.

Franz
JJ
DWhite
in this order

Franz and JJ. I accidentally voted White instead of JJ and can't change the vote. Though I do think White has a genuine chance at making it anyway.

Nemhard or Mathurin

I could see it, and voters love counting stats.

Charlotte is gonna score a ton of points, and give up a ton and a half.

Are we sleeping on Desmond bane making the all star team next season. He is about as fringe all star as they come and is flipping to the easier conference. I could easily see him making it if the magic are really good next season.

Kevin Porter Junior

Yes, I totally forgot about him when I set up the poll. Of course, Franz/Paolo are more likely, but he's got a chance
