Potential Western Conference All-Stars

Earlier I announced the candidates for the East All-Star lineup. Now I will announce who should represent the Western Conference Dallas and land their first all-star bid.

• Deron Williams - Near double-double averaging 19 pts 9 ast but since this a popularity contest it does not bold well......again Verdict: OUT
• Al Jefferson - Putting up 19 pts 9 reb but with Dirk, Timmy, Stoudamire, Melo plus his team stinks his chances are not that well but is deserving...Verdict: OUT
• Kevin Durant - Velvet hoop is in his third year and is having a career year. Pure scorer droppiong 30 a night will not be left out in the cold....Verdict: IN
• Tyreke Evans - 20 pts 5 reb 5 ast has all-star numbers all day. The problem is Bryant, Nash, Parker, CP3, Billups are also guards that play in the west (plus they're teams are winning) Verdict: OUT
• OJ Mayo - 19 pts per night will have many all-star games in his career but just don't expect any this season or the next. Verdict: OUT
• Rudy Gay - 20 pts 6 reb for the former Huskie but once again too many forwards come out the west. Verdict: OUT

Players of the Week

Congrats to Velvet Hoop aka Kevin Durant for being named Western Conference player of the week. I predict the Thunder star will lead the league in scoring next season. I'm sure if Portland could do it over again, they would have drafted Durant. After watching his Thunder beat my Bulls at the United Center on Monday, the Thunder will make the playoffs this year as an 8th seed then get worked by the Lakers. 


Derrick Rose was named Eastern Conference player of the week for averaging 28 per night. With the departure of Ben Gordon it's about time the 2008 #1 pick stepped his game up because the scoring is not coming from John Salmon. My prediction is that when it's all said and done, Rose will be the top point guard in the league over Paul, Williams, Jennings, and Westbrook, and John Wall.
