Agreed he should get selected by the coaches, but not a starter. Other choices looked fine though I may take KAT over Aldridge at center in the west.
I made my own All Star teams yesterday and for the West I also had KAT over Aldridge. Apart from the center spots I had the same teams as this journalist.
East: Irving, DeRozan, James, Antetokounmpo, Drummond. reserves: Wall, Oladipo, Simmons, Horford, Porzingis, Whiteside, Embiid.
just out: Walker, Beal.
West: Curry, Harden, Durant, Davis, Towns.reserves: Westbrook, Lillard, Butler, George, Aldridge, Green, Cousins.
just out: Thompson, Jokic.
