Dirk is 7’0” and 245lb (playing weight?) and KAT is 6’11” and 248lb. If Dirk is a PF, why can’t KAT be a PF. They both have similar playing style. The same defense ability? Dirk plays with Tyson Chandler/Haywood at center. Sure, the NBA is now smaller, faster, and more 3s but Gobert is Tyson Chandler+++
It comes down to voting, and I think that's a bold prediction. Remember, it's just broken down to guards and frontcourt, so I'm afraid Towns and Gobert could sniper each other. They finished 6th and 7th in voting last year. George and Leonard both healthy will be an additional factor.
I actually think Ant would have a slightly higher chance of starting than Towns, even though Towns would get the coaches' vote first. He finished 10th among West guards despite a slow start. He's got star recognition growing with his playoff performance and acting chops. Those things matter.
