Rudy/Donovan All Star rankings among players/media

[hgb]

I can simply look at the guys he has less votes than and see just fine why being ranked there and in 9th place is a slap in the face by his peers. We all talk about fan voting, and yet he was higher in fan voting than he was ranked by players.

It's true that he actually is behind Murray, Shai and Edwards. I find it somewhat surprising, but it's not like player votes are that much higher quality than fans. Klay Thompson has 9 votes, Malik Monk has 6. Grayson Allen and Ben Simmons both have 2 in the East.

I still think Donovan will make the team.

Well yes, the coaches will vote for the reserves. My contention isn’t he doesn’t deserve to be a reserve, just that he should be voted ahead of those other guys because of his play, yet he’s still behind them.

That's true, I agree.
