  • I’d have to go with John Wall. He’s been flat out amazing this year and his game speed makes this an easy win for him.
  • Give me Kyrie. I think Klay just has an off night and Kyrie is primed to take the trophy.
  • I want DeAndre Jordan, but the realistic part of me knows Aaron Gordon will win. I’m still upset he didn’t win last year and I’m sure he is too, so I expect him to come out with something even more mind blowing.
  • Devin Booker. The kid will show even more range and will make at least 8 three balls. The hype is real with this one.
  • If the East wins, John Wall gets it. If the West wins, Russell Westbrook gets it. The All-Star game is made for point guards, especially scoring ones. Either one could easily get a triple double and could also make some amazing plays.

Yes. Yes. YES. I dream that Westbrook will go out with all 4 players and just completely ignore their existence. Every offensive set will just be 1 vs 5. Please make this happen Steve Kerr.
