Just thinking who would make the jump to become a first time allstar player next season, got these names off my head:
- Lance Stephenson
- Andre Drummond
- Enes Kanter
my darkhouse pick: Michael Kidd Gilchrist (with his improved J)
Share your picks!

Homer pick is Kawhi Leonard

Another homer pick - Dion Waiters
I think he is going to thrive next to LeBron even as the 4th option

Kawhi

I hope you're right but its going to be tough for 4 players from the same team to make the all star game, which is essentially what needs to happen for Waiters to make it.
I think its only happened 6 times in NBA history.

You never know.
3 happens quite often and there aren't many 4th options with the upside Waiters has

DeMarcus Cousins
Good one. He's a guarantee if he stays healthy.

yeah, but Waiters won't get voted in as a starter so his stats have to be really insane as the 4th option to be an option. among the guards in the East i'd say Rose, Kyrie, and Wade will there for sure, so maybe only 2 or 3 more spots for a guard to get in.
i agree with Kawhi as an all star next year, along with Klay Thompson and Chandler Parsons. those are my picks.

Kenneth Faried, i think he's on the rise and as Love leaves the West, that opens up another Forward spot.

Nikola Vucevic

Olapido Should be there

Demarcus should also be a shoe in.

Drummond should of made it last year instead of Roy Hibbert, but I think due to the East's lack of legitimate big men, Drummond should be a front runner to make it this year.

Waiters will have better stats than Wade. Write that down.

I agree on Drummond and Cousins, possibly Vucevic or Oladipo.

DeMarcus Cousins
+1, it will be disappointing if he doesn't make it if healthy.

With Love and Pau gone, Cousins should be there.
Would love to see Kawhi make it. Anxious to see how he handles the recent success. Also agree with the Klay Thompson pick.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Goran Dragic. Anyways, he's my pick.

Centers, Power Forwards and Small Forwards are all viewed as front-court players. They are all voted for in one category.
Homer pick: Bradley Beal
Should be able to build off of his playoff performance.

I think nikola pekovic could be a sleeper if he stays healthy, I also think Kyle Lowry or demar derozan could be possibilities

Dragic was going to be my pick too.
I think Jabari Parker will make it as a rookie.
Cousins seems like a fairly safe bet.
I think the coaches will vote in Kawhi Leonard.

DeRozan was an All-Star this past season. Lowry is a good suggestion though.

I agree on Goran Dragic! Especially after the last year..

He could be there but how would he gets a lot of playing time with Isaiah Thomas eating out minutes from him?

The Suns would be fools to reduce Dragic's minutes. I can't see that happening. He was the heart of the team last season.
looking at last year's rosters, the only clear choice i can come up with is Kawhi - his profile has (rightfully) grown since the finals, and i think he cracks the lineup this year.
guys like Dragic will just have a tough time, numbers-wise, unless there are injuries.
shame - Dragic is an insane player. im glad he gets the hype that he does get, though it should be greater.

Cant wait to see whos the next all star snub.
The league is guard heavy, if Lance makes it, will have to be coaches reserve pick.
Drummond and Manimal along with Cousins and K leonard are good assumptions.
I wanna see Goran Dragic, dude is awesome.
