It’s not like the jazz are 15 games under 500 and he’s the only Allstar caliber player on the team. Mitchell has much more help.Don will. They are winning. We are not. Simple. Also just the appearance of it all, Don is a more visible established star. Lauri is breaking out. Lauri might sniff the 3rd team. Don is a likely 2nd team selection.
No way he goes over KD, maybe if he only played a third of the games. He’s played exactly half. He’ll go over Lauri 100%.I think Lauri will get 2nd since KD hasn’t played enough.
I disagree on Durant and LBJ. I think they are locks… well for sure LBJ. I’m pretty confident Durant gets in the nba still kisses the ground he walks on and I think Leonard still has a shot. Guys like Markkanen tend to get overlooked even if he is a great nba story and guys take note of it. Guys like Durant and LBJ carry a ton of weight with the sportswriters.Kawhi/Durant/LeBron won’t make any due to games played in my opinion. I think Lauri is a lock at forward along with Giannis, Tatum, Randle, Butler and the final one may go to Siakam or JJJ if Brown is counted as a guard if not it will go to Brown.
Only player to make the team with 42 or less games played in the last 50 years was Chris Webber who played exactly 42 games..No way he goes over KD, maybe if he only played a third of the games. He’s played exactly half. He’ll go over Lauri 100%.
I cant find fault with any of that.This is how I see it right now.
1st team
C- Embiid
F- Giannis
F- Tatum
G- SGA
G- Luka
2nd team
C- Jokic
F-Randle
F- Jaren Jackson
G- Curry
G- Lillard
3rd team
C- Sabonis
F- Jimmy Butler
F- Lauri
G- Fox
G- Mitchell
Curry will be tough to have ahead of Fox/Mitchell with games played factoring in. Could go either way depending on how voters rank games played.This is how I see it right now.

Its KD. he’ll get in trust me.Only player to make the team with 42 or less games played in the last 50 years was Chris Webber who played exactly 42 games..
...in a 50-game lockout season!!!!!
Personally I would have those guys ahead of him but I think the media loves him too much.Curry will be tough to have ahead of Fox/Mitchell with games played factoring in. Could go either way depending on how voters rank games played.
It's a rollercoaster at the very least from hearing Knicks fans talk about him. He had the incredible All-NBA season two years ago where he shot .400 for 3, and then a relative stinker last season where I saw Knicks fans ******** on him constantly.I think Julius Randle might be the most overrated player in the league.
Great stats though, can't argue that.
I'd take Lauri over Randle any of the week, twice on Sundays.This is how I see it right now.

There’s times that he looks unstoppable and I think it could work with him and Lauri together. . . and then I watch them again and think “Hell naw”I think Julius Randle might be the most overrated player in the league.
Great stats though, can't argue that.
Jokic is exceeding his last MVP year in nearly every statistical category and the nuggets are on top in the west. He should be 1st team, not Embiid.This is how I see it right now.
