That's Right, there's 3 Frontcourts. Jayson will probably get in as a Starter.

Tatum, Giannis, KD, and Embiid all deserve to start over Haliburton or Mitchell or whoever East guard's gonna be voted as a starter.

I've never, not once, heard someone reference how many times a guy started the all star game as a reference for their career, or how good they are. That's essentially what all-nba is for. People reference all star appearances all the time, that's really what matters, but outside of these four weeks nobody really actually cares about all-star games started. I honestly couldn't even tell you who the starters were last year.
Yet I've seen people getting frothing mad because this year because their guy might not start the all-star game? Just weird. granted its mostly Phili fans who i think are developing some kind of complex after Ebiid finished 2nd in MVP the last two years.
