Zach Lowe has both Gobert and Mitchell in.
He has Gobert as a "reserve lock" and says that if he doesn't get in this year the Jazz should boycott All Star festivities.
He has Mitchell as one of the "Last 4 In" along with Booker, Ingram and CP3. He also had Lillard as a reserve lock. That is nonsense imo. Lillard is on a non playoff team, so is Booker, so is Ingram. Mitchell is the leading scorer/#1 option on the current 2 SEED. He should be a lock.
Personally I think all of Gobert/Mitchell/Bojan deserve serious consideration. I think if I were to draw up my own I'd have all 3 in there. I'd certainly say Bojan is having a better season than somebody like Ingram.
Harden
Doncic
Kawhi
LeBron
Gobert
CP3
Lillard
Bojan
Davis
Jokic
Mitchell
KAT
I love what Bojan brings to the Jazz but he does not deserve to be on the all star team. Until a few weeks ago I was thinking Rudy was our only guy to make it but now I think we get both Rudy and DM.

Interestingly players voted for Ingram and Melo(!) and one other player above Gobert. Not sure who that would be, Aldridge maybe?
They also voted for Booker and Westbrook over Mitchell.
Apparently many of them don't consider record too much when voting, which I guess shouldn't be too much of a surprise.
It's a little concerning that many media members voted for Steph considering he's injured. Seemed weird to me.
Is this the official voting? Will the all-star selections be based on this?
I swear if the coaches put Booker and Westbrook in ahead of Donovan then those mother effers are just as bad as teenagers with fantasy teams.View attachment 8823

*edit* it may be that the media only voted for the top three guys and everyone else is 4th by default.
I feel that’s life in the Eastern Conference.trae young as an all star on a team with the 2nd worst record in the league.
how do you feel about that?
okPascal Siakam of the Raptors was selected as an Eastern Conference starter. He was the 27th pick in the first round of 2016 out of New Mexico State. I counted five players selected ahead of him in the first round that have already appeared on the waiver wire. The Jazz pick that year was the rental of George Hill.
