Stephen Curry (Point Guard): 55 percent

Looking back on the 2012-13 season, it seems unbelievable that Stephen Curry was not on the All-Star team. Averaging 22.9 points, 6.9 assists and 3.5 three-pointers per game was not enough to get past the likes of Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook and Tony Parker.

Projecting forward to the coming season, it seems like Curry has even odds of making the cut. Parker had a phenomenal year last season, but Curry had a monster postseason run, and there is no reason to think he will slow down. Thus, he has a good shot at bumping Parker off the roster and capturing his first All-Star selection.

Now, that is not to say he is a lock. There are plenty of hungry young guns, such as Damian Lillard, Jeremy Lin, Ricky Rubio and Jrue Holiday looking to make a splash this year.
