The Ringer's article tries to guess the All-Stars rosters 5 years from now

[bkohler]

Pretty clear how many people didn’t read the article.

It’s mentioned that Bronny would have a huge fan vote push behind him, and that alone might be enough even without him being, you know, good.

We’ve see this type of thing before for players with lesser followings almost work. I think it’s more a comment in the broken fan vote than anything.

The bronny stuff is going to be so tiring.

People are gonna make excuses for the kid for years and years despite him just not being very good

That’s been solved (you still need to be very high up on the media and players vote for a chance), and Bronny would never receive a mass fan vote over the actual superstars. So I’m not sure what they are talking about.

This is a pretty silly exercise as about 1/3rd of the team are either 1st/2nd year players yet to blossom or not in the league yet.

Do people really think Wagner/Giddey will be better than Barnes longterm? I'm not saying it's ridiculous to think that but just curious on people's opinion here.

I think they will be same talent on par but those guys will have more opportunities

Wembanyama hype train derailed already?

[old skool]

The 2028 projected list is just as ridiculous today as the current team would have been in 2018.

Heck, fans can't even agree on who the All-Stars should be AFTER the selections are announced, much less five years in advance.

[76ciology]

Where’s Cam Thomas, Walker Kessler and Mark Williams?

[GSWFan1994]

Wembanyama hype train derailed already?

I don't think so... he made the list, and by the looks of it, barring injury, he will be an All-Star starter for years to come...

Just because of this article, watch Lebron still play for another 5 years.

Well now I know Carlos Boozer has a son, he's pretty well built for 15. How many other sons of NBA players are top prospects coming up?

[p0peye]

He's on the left. The guy on the right is his twin brother (Cayden).

Yes, they are twins. I still don't understand how one is the mini-me version of the other, despite being twins...

DJ Wagner (Dajuan's son) and Andrej Stojakovic (Peja's son) were just named McDonald's All-Americans a few days ago... link

Yeah my man... we are indeed getting old!

[3toheadmelo]

Besides Bronny being in there, it's not a bad list imo

[reanimator]

Bronny ofc, Daniels, and to a lesser extent Sharpe seem like reaches. I'll be shocked if 1 of the young Pistons dont make it. pro Chet Holmgren people have all but disappeared since the injury...
