You have no idea what you're talking about. Even tho Rose just began starting, he's been playing against the starters and is ALWAYS there to close the game.
Doesn't matter he may close games and face mixed lineups he's still been a super 6th Man most of the season. He also doesn't deserve to be in over Kyle Lowry.

It's not his fault the team is mediocre. They've been better this year. He might not be a two way player but he's an offensive beast and at least tries on defense. He has been better than Westbrook.

Westbrook is averaging 26/8/7 on a winning team and making 45% which is his highest efficiency since 2011-2012. I'm not saying Book ain't an All-Star level player but there isn't an argument for him like people think. Ayton, Oubre, Rubio, Baynes, Kaminsky, and Saric is also a better roster than what the Grizzlies and Spurs have, no excuse there.

People should be focusing on Mitchell more than Russ and Ingram. He's not even close to Book.
Nope, Jazz are the second seed at least and Mitchell is their offensive anchor. Russell's efficiency numbers are weak and he has only ramped up recently with Harden hurt. He gets numbers but a lot of that is a product of usage and pace. The consensus this year has been that the Rockets downgraded trading CP3. :francis:

Lowry would be even worse on that Detroit team as the #1 option. Rose is averaging like 10 less minutes putting up 19 and 6 on 50% shooting. Lowry is shooting 41% from the field.

I agree. Either way, Book should be on the team. Period.

Lowry takes 8.5 threes per game and be pulling from range why would you compare their FG%? Lowry overall is more efficient than Rose.

Also, you aren't factoring in defense at all :stopitslime:

The more all star teams Lowry makes, the more likability that he will be in the hall :pachaha:.

shyt, I would've love to had seen Rose back on the big stage again in his hometown but Detroit at the moment isn't a playoff team and being #3 in the conference will give you the edge every time.

I really be wondering if y'all keep up with ball outside of your favorite team/players. :lolbron:
:dwillhuh: Dude is an offense only big man that doesn't even stretch the floor. He's basically Kanter with minutes.. The fact that history is going to acknowledge him as an all-star before guys like Booker and Jaylen Brown is a joke.
