One month in, are there any players you think will make their first All Star game this season? I think Paolo Banchero will get in if he keeps playing like he has over the last 10 games and Orlando keeps winning. Anyone else ya’ll see making it?

    Chet has a real chance. He’s just different enough to get votes, and might play himself into it anyways

    For the Western Conference, I could see Chet, Sengun, and Wemby all making a case for being a first time all-star this year…

    If OKC keeps rolling and is a top 3 seed, they probably will deserve two all-stars and Chet is definitely the next guy up after SGA. He’s been great defensively, has been absurdly efficient on offense, and has some of the best advanced stats in the NBA at the moment.

    If the Rockets maintain a top 6-8 seed, I think Sengun could make an all-star team. He’s been the best player for us this year, is putting up great numbers, and it top 15 in nearly every “catch-all” advanced stat.

    For Wemby, I honestly don’t think his play has warranted it thus far, mainly because the Spurs have been one of the worst teams in the NBA so far this season and it’s extremely hard to make an all-star team with that type of team record. However, if anybody could overcome that it is probably Wemby with the immense amount of hype that comes with him.
