Why can't AD be put at center?

Westbrook
Harden
Leonard
Durant
Davis

It won't even get close to that.

yep, even though he deserves it, Marc Gasol will never be voted as a starter playing in Memphis. Hisplay this year has been so good. I'm still in shock that he was 12/66 (.182) for his CAREER from 3, and this year he is 51/124 (.411). Up 3 points per game on average from last year. Has even a higher assists per game average, 4.3 per game as a big man is pretty damn good. Dude is playing unbelievable basketball, but will likely be a bench player in the ASG again

Because that bumps Boogie or Gasol who also each deserve to start IMO.

Something's gotta give. Someone who deserves to start will be left off.

Taking my Pels fandom out of the equation, the person left off should not, under any circumstances, be Anthony Davis.

He is killing it on a shitty team with no hope to do anything but earn a bad lottery pick or the chance to get run off the court by Golden State in 4 at best.

The man should be an All Star starter and I believe 1st team All NBA at PF. Not his fault that he plays in a small market for a team run by Mr Magoo, Gomer Pyle, and Doofy from "There's Something About Mary"

Davis is murdering Gasol in ever per game stat except assists.

Davis/Gasol

POints
2nd/33rd

REbounds
7th/60th(!!)

Blocks
1st/16th

Steals
23rd/67th

PER
4th/36

There's no argument.

Well I guess you got 3 spots available for 4 players:

Leonard
Durant
Davis
Gasol


Someone has to get left off.


I'd personally leave Gasol off.

Gasol is the captain and leader for a playoff team, Davis has zero leadership qualities and his team is and has been garbage. Sometimes you gotta look past the numbers. Let me guess Kevin Love shoula been 1st team all nba back in his Minnesota days.....

Given the rules on how they vote starters in, I have to agree with you.

I am still maintaining that SFs should not be lumped in with PF/C players for voting purposes.

The other day you didn't even know if he was starting or not. Or that he's playing solid AF d. And now all of a sudden you wanna vouch for him. You crack me up

No sorry that never happened. I never said gasol had better numbers so that post doesn't mean anythjng to me. We value wins.

An easy argument against Davis is that the 5 best players in the west should start.

Steph
Russ
Harden
Kawhi
Durant
