Raymond Felton's case for the All Star Game

AdamTheGreek · Post #61 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 3:11 pm

Felton is doing that in 37 minutes of action per game. Jameer at just 29.5 minutes per game has the better stats, IMO.
PPG 14.5
RPG 2.90
APG 7.1
SPG 1.2
FG% 47.8%
3PT% 38.6%

Only thing that needs to go up is his free throw percentage as he's down 9% from his career average.
Jameer's starting to get his shooting down again, but he's been dishing very well all season long.

I don't ever remember Felton being this good of a shooter, ever. That has nothing to do with D'Antoni's system. If the guy gets a nod this year, it's well deserved. My fantasy team which I accidentally forgot to draft myself, and caused me to wind up with him as my starting 1 via autopick, thanks him.

The notion that the Knicks would get two players in the all-star game, with at least one being a coaches' selection, while the Magic only get one player in the all-star game is almost too stupid to contemplate.

with Joe Johnson out 4-6 weeks does this make Felton's case even stronger? statistically, he is probably the second best fantasy point guard. He shoots 3's, gets steals, scores close to 20ppg, 8 assists per game and extremely high shooting percentages, He's almost a 50/90/40 percentage shooter.

lol at this thread. should have been locked pages ago (NY Knick fans as mods.. :shrug:). Felton has zero chance of making the ASG.

good to see him playing well loved him at UNC but it most likely will be wall.

My thoughts:

Seems to me like the wild card slots in the East probably won't go to the guards so we're talking about 4 slots. Rondo, Rose, and Wade are probably locks. Last spot is pretty open, so that's a start. However, it's hard for me to the Knicks warranting a 2nd all-star. I'd pick Ray Allen over Felton.

(Also think the John Wall for all-star stuff is way premature. It's probably too much to ask for people to wait until he actually does something with his team before he gets brought up, but how about he actually wins ROTM first, eh?)

i thought 5 guards and 5 forwards have to make the team

When was the last time a rookie got picked for the ASG?

I could be mistaken, but I think Yao.

That nickname still belongs to Ray Allen

Why? Obviously you disagree with half the posters here, so there's something about this thread. Felton's playing well, but it's too early. He's at a good pace right now, might be playing too many minutes, but he's improving at the pick and roll (hopefully). Most important number to me is the W section, but Felton is a big part of that. He'll get consideration, and I think that's fair. Also, the East looks weak.

24/9/2/2 is average? Especially considering the way he started.. He's been a beast lately, he deserves to be in the ASG whether he's in NY or Milwaukee.

If Felton keeps it up, he could make it.. but I don't expect him to keep up his current level of play especially considering NY's brutal schedule coming up.

lol at anyone who thinks he's actually a better player.

He went from 33 mpg last year on a bottom 5 pace team that does not run offense through the PG, to 38 mpg on the #2 pace team where the offense is built around the PG.

no wait, he's just that much better now because he's in NY :roll:

Two Magic players will make it, take that ish to Vegas. Either Vince or Jameer.

At this juncture, Felton does make a case for the ASG, albeit not a strong one. It's still too early in the season to even be having this discussion. The Knicks have a difficult schedule coming up, and if Felton continues to put up the same numbers with a solid team record, then his case will strengthen considerably.

That notion is not stupid because based on stats, record and importance to the team, one can make a case for both Felton and STAT making the All-Star game. In the Magic's case, they have one player who is not only playing like an all-star, he's also playing like the league MVP.

I never said that? But I'll play along.

Rose is more popular and (arguably) an equal or better player.

Oh...must have misread this quote:

I'm going to assume Rose & Rondo, respectively, are locks for the all-star game.

What?

He said both were locks for the all-star game. Are you upset because he listed Rose first?

stuporman · Post #79 » by **stuporman** » Thu Dec 2, 2010 7:14 pm

Well, he could have led to believe that by the use of the word 'respectively' which means according to dictionary.com

–adverb
1.
in precisely the order given; sequentially.

Probably was. Somehow any thread that has Rose's name in it turns into a Rose Rondo battle. Lets get it out the way: They're both great PG's who excel at different things. There it's done, and no one can get butt hurt over it.

Now back to the thread title. He has a chance, but it would be as the last guard spot, and someone else would have to be snubbed. He won't get voted in, and the coaches won't make him an immediate backup.
