All-Star Game: Who Will Represent the Warriors?
When the NBA All-Star Game comes in February, the question will not be whether or not the Warriors will have any All-Star; rather, it will be how many will make the team. Curry is an absolute lock to start for the West, becoming the face of the NBA. Thompson made the team last season and after a slow start, has played like his old self. He probably will not start because of his slow start but should make it as a reserve.
The wildcard in the All-Star mix is Green. Green is quickly becoming one of the most versatile players in this league. He leads the NBA in triple-doubles, a stat that really shows your worth to your team. He has increased his scoring, rebounding and assists this season, making him the front-runner for the most improved player in the league.
He has lots of competition in the frontcourt with Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Kobe Bryant almost assured to start for the West. This means he will have to beat out the guys like Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, which will be no easy task. He will have to rely on his peers (players) and coaches to vote him onto the team. Green should be in Toronto because the best team in the NBA should have three representatives as well as the entire coaching staff.
