Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Breh a lot of cats in the nba are athletic as fukk but it doesn't translate into productive nba play. Heck Thomas Robinson is athletic, practically a freak of nature, but his nba career is garbage for being such a high pick.


Robinson is a bit undersized, he's athletic because he has to make up for lack of height/length and skillset. They list him at 6'10, he's really 6'8 in shoes which is right around the height of your average small forward.

Robinson has no jumper, no handles and shown literally zero improvement besides motor. It's actually pretty sad, because he seems like he works hard, he just has maxed his talent.

Sohh trillsap and green aren't Undersized


They have unique skillsets to make up for it, both of them are great passers for PFs and can make threes. If Robinson could make the 3 he'd play a lot, it's the same reason why Faried comes off the bench, teams want their PF to be able to shoot now.

Predictions for All-Stars?

I got (if nobody gets seriously injured and no team slumps OD/jumps OD from now til voting ends)

West:
G Russell Westbrook / Stephen Curry / Damian Lillard / Chris Paul
G James Harden / Klay Thompson
F Kevin Durant / Gordon Hayward
F Kawhi Leonard / DeMarcus Cousins
F Anthony Davis / Marc Gasol

With LaMarcus, Draymond, and KAT being fringe

East:
G DeMar DeRozan / Kyrie Irving / Kemba Walker
G Dwyane Wade / Isaiah Thomas
F Jimmy Butler / Paul George
F LeBron James / Kevin Love / Paul Millsap
F Carmelo Anthony / Giannis Antetokounmpo

With Wall, Lowry, and Whiteside being fringe

Unless he gets hurt, there's no chance Lowry is left off.

Over who though? Wade's gonna get voted in, IT's playing better, Kemba's there to rep the Hornets. I can see Lowry getting in over Kyrie but that's not a foregone conclusion. There's definitely a chance Lowry gets snubbed. I would put him over Millsap too but he's been getting voted in every year for the last 3 seasons so I don't know
