First All-Star Votes in... Andre not in top 10 

Post#1 » by bstein14 » Thu Jan 5, 2017 10:48 pm

Last year Andre spent a lot of time in the mix as the 4th or 5th frontcourt player in AS voting... but this year he is no where on the list. Jabari Parker of small market Milwaukee is even in the top 10...

Not that I think Andre should be an all-star, but maybe this is a wakeup call for him... probably not but maybe.

Good, he shouldn't be. Last year he deserved it, not this year. Hopefully it does light a fire in him

Zaza Pachulia is currently second in the West front court voting, so I doubt he takes this as a wake up call lol.

As much as I think he doesnt deserve it compared to last year he still should be getting more votes and should be in over Whiteside and Parker

I don't want Dre sniffing anywhere near Allstar votes unless he can prove it and dominate games.

It'd be an embarrassment if he was on the top 10. No one cares about this current Pistons right now and for good reason.

Neither surprising nor unjustified.

Last season he was making headlines with crazy stat lines and the team was playing a hell of a lot better than they are now.

Sadly he's taken a major step backward this year. I really hope he rights the ship, because we've got a lot invested in him and not just in terms of money either.

He doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the all star game. He doesn't play like one. Heck, he doesn't play like he has any interest in being on the court half the time.
