They're a few decent guards away from competing for the 8th seed right now and that team record improvement is almost solely on the back of Embiid being a top tier center already. And that's without Simmons.

A few? Doesn't sound all that close when you say it that way.


Once they get there, he'll get rewarded. That's been the standard for the most part. In the meantime, he'll catch some lobs in the rookie game which is better than the all-star game anyway, hopefully does the skills challenge, and he can still get shine.

Difference is the Kings are like a game out of the playoffs and also, Cousins is a vet. He's been in the 7 years now and this is his 3rd year in a row making the playoffs.

Embiid is a rookie. Off the top of the my head the only rookie I can think of in the last 20 years that got picked by coaches to make the all-star team was Blake Griffin
And they only voted him in because dunks and shyt.

Doesn't really sound that far considering they could have two top ten picks in a few months and just get the guards then.

Draymond stole Gobert's ASG spot like he'll probably steal his DPOY award too :smh:

Seriously though, Draymond numbers make you an all-star? Man this league is trash but you know what?

Cardiac Kemba made it and that's all I care about. If Drummond wasn't busy going to a bunch of tropical island with his squad this summer and actually worked on his craft, UConn would have 2 players making it.
