2017 All Star Reserves were annouced

[Blackrogue]

I just realized Lillard didn't make it, and he's averaging 26/6/5

Numbers aside would you trade any of the reserves for him if you were starting a team? The only possible one for me is Hayward. Other than that if I had any of those other reserves I wouldn't trade straight up for lillard

 

[prophecypro]

Hayward over Lillard?

 

[Blackrogue]

It's an exhibition game but players need to be rewarded for being the best at their position. Guys like embiid and whiteside should be there

Starting a team its gotta be hayward or green

True. My value for green has increased as far as his rebounding and point skills. Allowing him to rebound and lead the break puts pressure on opponents..its something I've realized Bron been doing for years.. Antentokounpo as well..and Russ is doing from a guard spot. It almost sounds like a schematically good idea.

BTW someone asked if giannis is a pg. And I think my answer is no. If you think in terms of ball handlers..i think he's a secondary ball handler at a good position. You can also use him as a primary the way Houston uses Harden and straight put the ball in his hand constant but I wouldn't recommend it since his assist to turnover numbers are 5.4 to 3 turnovers. So I'd be very particular about which spots to use him. But I'd use him like a draymomd/ lebron, I'd use him like a Harden on ball.

But all this is just an aside. It's harder to find a draymond than a lillard. So many good pgs in the league

Replace Hayward and Jordan with Lillard and Towns in the West

Replace Millsap with Embiid ( my dude Wade though )

 

[Rekkapryde]

He's by far and away better defensively than all of them. Like it's not even remotely close.

His offensive game is pretty damn good too.

He has the sixers winning games, which they've failed to do in previous seasons and not much of the roster has changed.

Why is it so outrageous to suggest he's better than them? He's going to be a top 10 player by next year, maybe you're just not paying attention.

Once he's off restriction with minutes and games he'll be fine

team is 10th in the west after we expected a top 4 seed.

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Dude always has good jokes.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

i think all 5 members of the pistons made it also...rip, chauncey, tayshaun ben wallace and the other nikka i forgot

Rasheed .....How the fukk you forget sheed?

 

[BushidoBrown]

Wall just barely snuck in
Beal not all star caliber?
Im not even a wizards fan
Wall welcome in the 305 anytime

 

[Miggs]

Rudy Gobert personality wise is right up there with Embiid...

Likeable which is surprising for a frenchman.

 

[FaTaL]

NO embiid?

What a travesty

 

[beenz]

even lebron didn't make it his rookie year. and he played all the games with no minutes restriction on a playoff caliber team.
