Zach Lowe's 2018 NBA All-Star picks

A bizarre thing: Wall is the best player of that group, but gets left off. We haven't seen peak John Wall much this season. The last spot came down to Wall and Love, and I have never been less excited about an All-Star roster decision.

Wall is shooting 42 percent, his lowest mark since he was a rookie, and he just hasn't played with enough vigor on either end of the floor. One measure of that: He has spent 76.57 percent of floor time either standing still or walking, the largest such share among all rotation players, according to tracking data from Second Spectrum. Dirk Nowitzki is right behind Wall, and he's almost 40.

I know the 4 spot is the big thing but i'd also like to get a solid back up point guard, nothing too fancy. We have a depth chart of Gordon, Green, Tucker, LM Moute, Nene. That's pretty good, but our offense is point guard reliant and Eric Gordon can't dribble under pressure. And so Dantoni is more than happy to just roll Harden or Paul out there for more minutes to compensate. i'd like to see if a solid pg could get that 2nd unit into some semblance of coherency and eliminate this need to play Harden/CP3 extended minutes.

Jimmy said Wiggs is the most talented player on the team. Hope Jimmy keeps his foot on his neck.


He aint lying tho and thats the frustration.

Jimmy himself cant do the things Drew can off the dribble....That step thru late in the game finishing with his right hand,going left is something very few players in the league can finish and make look effortless...Thibs and the coaches HAVE to be more demanding of him....If it means sitting him out for quarters im for it....
