Going off this thread.

I think right now it goes

G - Dame

G - Hali

F - Tatum

F - Giannis

F - Embiid

This is where it gets tricky.

G - Maxey

G - Brown? (Celtics fans are down on him, but again, it’s Jaylen Brown and they’ve got the best record in the league)

F - 1 of Jimmy or Bam

F - Paolo/2nd Heat forward/Randle?

F - Randle/2nd Heat forward/Scottie/Pascal/Bridges/DeMar? (likelihood descending)

WC - Brunson?

WC - Trae?

Paolo hasn’t been outstanding, but the team as a whole has and in this hypothetical where ORL is currently the #2 seed and this again, hypothetically, holds up, 2nd seeds are always good for at least 1 All-Star. I don’t think Franz/Suggs have huge cases and I don’t think Scottie’s a shoe-in. Pascal hasn’t had the superstar-level start he did to last year’s season, but feel like they might still cannibalize each other. Picked DeMar for it too because even though there’s a decent gap between even our record and his, it’s not because we’re a dominant team and he has plenty of ASG history even with this bit of a falloff. But maybe the Heat hold up and Jimmy & Bam both get one? They definitely should’ve both been in during their 1st-seed year in 2022.

And unless you’re the KD Warriors/2015 Hawks/2011 Celtics, you’re probably not getting 3+ All-Stars. So doubt KP makes it. Think there’s less of a case for Jrue.

Think there are 6 guards with either clear All-Star cases or something resembling one, which could bleed over into wildcard spots, which Scottie could get bumped down into. But again, not a ton of forward competition. Just enough to make it rickety.
