First few games, this year I thought he was taking a big step but last game he was himself.   It is possible that we do not have an all star but IT is the guy I would bet on.

Stars

Are consistent ....and recognized as such

He has games that approach that level ......but he has to maintain a certain level of excellence to get the attention

He seems to want to get to the level this year. Time will tell.

All star or not, his game just keeps improving every single year.  Same with his shot.

AB Playing well will be a "Key" piece to a trade. Im sure he is more wanted then Sully, Smart, or KO.

And if we do trade AB plus a pic and etc.. It will deff be something pretty darn good coming back in return... No way we trade assets for more assets at this point

AB was ....raised or brought up correct though the ranks .....he earned his stripes ....great attitude , loyal , and good teammate ......that's a lot good things to put on your team.   

I just don't care for the diva characters out their , non team players no matter how good they are .

AB is a good steady player to,have on your team

I have to imagine Smart is by far our best asset in a trade. Of course I want to keep him, but if another gm becomes enamored by him and is willing to deal a 'star', then I would have a hard time saying no.

AB has made steady improvements, but he is pretty much the player he is going to be - which is a very good player. Smart, however, is young enough that his potential is still seen as perennial all-star by some.

sorry to burst the bubble but AB will not be an all-star. Unless the C's are seeded #1. In which case, probably Smart, Bradley, Lee and Crowder will all make the all-star game.

I think all those will be a reach, but to suggest Crowder is an all star is beyond crazy.

Why does everyone think AB is incapable of improving? He's only 24 years old, and this is the first stretch where he's been in a stable situation playing with the same guys in his career. He's the best athlete on the team, one of the hardest workers, and he's got a coach who can really help him improve.

He should continue to get better for a couple of more seasons, and if he can become a little more efficient on offense (16+ ppg and 45% 2pt/38% 3pt) and the team wins over 50 games, he might very well become an all star. I can see that as a realistic possibility in the next two years.

Because Bradley has largely been the same player over the entire course of his career: an inefficient scorer who will give you X points on X-1 shots and will invariably get completely embarrassed if he tries to do anything more sophisticated than shooting the ball within 2 seconds of catching it.

There is no distribution of minutes that will make an allstar out of Bradley, sorry.

Hitting the ASB with a top 4 record in the East could make an all-star out of whichever Celtic starter is averaging the most PPG.

 475 players have been selected to an All-Star Game roster at least once. However, only 316 of them have earned multiple selections to the game.
If you look at some of the one timers. I have to believe AB has a chance.

If he played like yesterday against the spurs he may get there.
