Who would be your All-Star reserves?

Furr: East: DeMarr DeRozan, Kristaps Porzingis, Bradley Beal, Kemba Walker, and Ben Simmons
West: Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, LaMarcus Aldridge, Karl Anthony-Towns, and Jimmy Butler

Coaches Reserves:
East: Kevin Love, Kyle Lowry
West: Klay Thompson, Nikola Jokic.

Matthes: East: DeMar DeRozan, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Kevin Love, Kristaps Porzingis, Hassan Whiteside and Al Horford.
West: Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, LeMarcus Aldridge, Nikola Jokic, Eric Gordon and Clint Capela.

Eggers: East: G John Wall G DeMar DeRozan F Khris Middleton F Kevin Love F Kristaps Porzingis W Bradley Beal W Tobias Harris

West: G Russell Westbrook G Damian Lillard F Paul George F LaMarcus Aldridge F DeMarcus Cousins W Klay Thompson W Jimmy Butler

Renz: East reserves gotta go to some combination of Bradley Beal, John Wall, Demar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry (the Raps have gotta have two guys), Porzingis, Embiid, and Kevin Love. Drummond could make a case.

Over in the West, do both Klay and Draymond make it? Lamarcus Aldridge looks as good as ever – should he be starting in February? Westbrook is having a far less remarkable season this year compared to last — could he be the first reigning MVP to miss the following season’s All-Star game? Is it lingering pettiness or basic math that has me leaving Paul George off of my West reserves? Jimmy Butler makes a strong case. Dame Lillard has been making strong cases for a few years now — it’d be a shame if he were to be left off again.

Next: It could be worse: Losing Streaks

East: In the West: Draymond Green, Russell Westbrook, Jimmy Butler, Damian Lillard, Kawhi Leonard, Karl-Anthony Towns, Paul George, and Chris Paul
In the East: Victor Oladipo, Ben Simmons, Bradley Beal, Al Horford, Kevin Love, John Wall, Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Lowry.
