2017 all star game starters

[jakefooty23]

Who do you think will be the starters for the east and the west for the all star game?

This was abit rushed but I just tried to get it done, this is just my opinion.

West-Russell Westbrook, James Harden,Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Demarcus Cousins

Unlucky, Steph Curry (could've been in over harden, but I think Harden has played better this year so far),
Kevin Durant (I think he would be the unluckiest of all, I think him being in a golden state could possibly affect his voting).
Damien Lillard (he Is having a great season and I think if his team starts playing better his stats might go back up and he might get voted in but probably not at this stage)
Karl Anthony-Towns ( one of the best young players in the comp and could get possibly get in over cousins.
East- John Wall, Demar Derozan, Antetekounmpo, Lebron James, Andre Drummond
Unlucky
Kevin Love (Love isn't as good as he was in minnesota but he is having a great year and has had some huge games, he could possibly get a spot over Drummond.
Jimmy Butler (Could be in over Derozan or Antetekounmo, butler is having a great season and Is arguably the best 2 way player in the east.)
Isaiah Thomas (the most underrated player in the league if you ask me, he is becoming of the premier point guards, could get voted in over John wall.)
Hassan Whiteside (he is flourishing as the focal point at Miami, he could easily be in over Drummond)

Wade gets voted in. Don't worry about that

Wade gets voted in. Don't worry about that

He will end up getting voted in but I don't think he should be a starter.

East:

G: Dwyane Wade / Kyrie Irving
F: LeBron James / Carmelo Anthony / Kristaps Porzingis

Roughies: Jimmy Butler is a chance if listed as a forward; Paul George normally polls very well. Porzingis is obviously my riskiest pick but I think he will poll very well amount fans.

West:

G: Stephen Curry / Russell Westbrook
F: Kevin Durant / Kawli Leonard / Anthony Davis

Roughies: Blake Griffin usually polls very well and I could see him taking Leonard's spot.

The new voting system complicates matters somewhat. Fans only accounting for half the vote certainly weighs against the likes of Wade who have remained exceptionally popular despite his form slipping over the years.

Cousins won't start.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Rushed through some votes earlier today -
East - Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Andre Drummond
West - Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins

If KD hadn't gone to Golden State I probably would have slipped him in over Boogie.

 

[nahnah]

The two Raptor guards will start because the whole of Canada + Bieber fans vote for them

(Derozan deserves it, Lowry might by the time it comes around but probably doesn't atm )

 

[Squibbs]

East - Irving, Derozan, James, Love, Whiteside
West - Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Davis, Cousins

Interesting to see what will happen with Durant and Westbrook back on the same team

 

[The King!]

Will be interesting with the new voting system

Do they have to pick a centre?

 

[gcsunsfc]

I just voted for the guys I think have been the best.

I'd rather see Deandre or Cousins.. but I think Gasol deserves the accolade

[gcsunsfc]

Ahhh I think you left Westbrook off

 

[scaryness]

Ahhh I think you left Westbrook off

I left him off simply because I don't like him. Half of the All-Star is voting for the players you want to see.

I know he is going anyway.

Fair enough.
I don't like the guy either but he does some ridiculous things on the court.

I would love to see embiid in there. Who would be the last 76er to make the all star game? Holiday or iguodala?

 

[2006_Eagles]

West:

Brook
Harden
Durant
Davis
Cousins

East:

Wall
DeRozan
Giannis
Bron
Embiid

Holiday

 

[bootsmalicious]

giannis better start, I'm going thomas and wall at the guards. james and I reckon Embiid will get in as he's super popular.
Westbrook, Harden, Durant, leonard and cousins in the west for mine

This was my list of who I thought would be the starters.

But I voted this way:

East:

G: Kyle Lowry / Kyrie Irving
F: LeBron James / Giannis Antetokounmpo / Joel Embiid

West:

G: James Harden / Russell Westbrook
F: Kevin Durant / Kawli Leonard / Anthony Davis

Zaza making it would be hilarious

Zaza making it would be hilarious

It's pretty much impossible given fans only account for half the votes. He won't get any votes from the media or players so he will need to poll more than twice as many votes as the fourth ranked player on the fan ballot (currently Anthony Davis).

Zaza making it would be hilarious

Just believe.
