Rudy and Donovan All Star game and implications

[oneye]

So Locke quickly answered the All Star question in his podcast today. He said he actually doesn’t think any of our guys make the team.

Rudy’s competition is AD,Jokic, and Towns. Donovan’s competition is a long list but I do think he is more likely to make it than Rudy tbh. Jokic isn’t really engaged but AD and Towns are playing very good.

So basically who do you think is more likely to make it? And who do you think is going to be more upset if they don’t?

I think it could be an issue if Rudy doesn’t make it again going forward and tbh I think it’s unlikely he does. With Donovan I can see one more year of him not making it without it bothering him too much. If Donovan makes it and Rudy doesn’t I’m not sure what Rudy’s reaction will be tbh.

Just thought it was interesting that Locke said he doesn’t think anyone makes it and that he does think it will
be an issue.

Won't surprise me if we have no all stars again. We can't get enough momentum before the all-star break to get the buzz for any of our players. We'll need to seriously kick it in gear for anyone to make it.

I think Mitchell is much more likely to make it while Rudy is much more deserving. Every dude that will make it before Rudy is a tin-man and very weak (Davis, Towns, Jokic). I think the only remedy is to win a championship. Would be great to do that without all-stars, and I’d be willing to bet we wouldn’t get any next year, which would mean we’d have to repeat the title, which would (should) be the final nail in the coffin of how stupid all-star selection is.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

It all comes down to our record and seed in the west at the time the selections are made. Last year we had no all stars because we were like 9th in the west or something at the time if I remember correctly. Otherwise Rudy would have gotten in.

If we're like a top 2 seed at the time we'll probably get 2 or 3 on the all star team. If we're like a 4-7 seed we'll likely get 1 on the team. Anything below that and we might get none again.

Rudy and Donovan will both make it when we are like 45-7 at the all star break

 

[Jingled]

I think Donovan has a good chance. I'm honestly not sure Rudy will ever make it.

 

[Dali]

The problem Rudy has is that the all star game is completely allergic to one particular thing.

Defense.

I think Donovan has a good chance. I'm honestly not sure Rudy will ever make it.

I feel like implications as far as Rudy might get bad if he doesn’t make it this year. Idk. Donovan has the better chance if he keeps up his play. I think there’s little to no chance of both. Kinda worries me tbh.

Why is All Stars game considered important? IMHO the playing style is similar to Harlem Globetrotters or WWF show. Or is it really considered among both basketball juniors and pro players in similar league as Hawaii Ironman, Tour de France (yes, i know due the doping scandals and DNQs it is possible to win a specific TdF 10 years later ) or Wimbledon tennis tournament? When was the last all stars game where the players really tried on both sides to win the game?

Agreed but it doesn’t matter what we think. It matters to them.

Its important cause it gets them more money, more recognition and helps solidify their legacy.

I think Rudy makes it if the jazz have a great first half of the season. I think the coaches realize they made a mistake. So if his team is near the top, and the timberwolves, aren’t that good again, Gobert gets in I think.
