Is Varejao an all-star?

[InspiredLebowski]

Told you that contract was toxic when they extended him. Man, NBA salaries just keep exploding.

Anyway, absolutely. Anyone who disagrees is just flatly wrong.

[irondarts]

Yes.

[irondarts]

Tonight he finished with 15 points/22 rebounds

Tonight he finished with 15 points/22 rebounds

+ 3 assists, 2 steals and a block.

Stat stuffer.

[swi7ch]

This year, yes.

[CavaliersFTW]

Anderson Chamberlain has been flat out dominating the boards this season, 23+ TRB%

[Rose]

No.


This is the year Smoove, finally makes his all star team since the center spot has been eliminated.

[red1]

chosen 2, doin what he do

[InspiredLebowski]

No.

Andy's been far better this year.

[no pun intended]

If Hibbert could make the allstar game, I don't see why Andy V won't. Especially now that Dwight is in the West.

Not exactly. This year's All Star ballot removed the center option. Thus, it was easier for Hibbert to become an All-Star due to the limited amount of centers then. But I'm not removing any doubt that Varejao is playing at an all-star level. He very could make it.

[irondarts]

No.

Varejao has been way better than Josh Smith. Smith has been playing like a complete moron this year.

[InspiredLebowski]

You sonsabitches keep hating on Hibbert I'm gonna take a flamethrower to this place

[RoundMoundOfReb]

idk. there is no mandatory center selection anymore.

Andy's been far better this year.

I agree, but all star isn't about voting. It's about name recognition.

So neither one might win that. But the coaches almost always go with the "well this guy's record is better than this guy so I'mma take x" Hence why certain players get screwed year after year (Josh, Bosh, for many years once KG switched conferences.) Or even worse when Rashard Lewis made it over Josh.

Or hell last year with Dirk, someone (Millsap) got screwed because of the fan vote.

Plus, Noah>Andy. get mad Cleveland.

He should be. Anyone who sees this guy play knows he's a monster on the boards even for his build. And this guy really has the ability to frustrate offensive players with his defense, which I love. Guy has great hands for the ball on defense, can take charges, makes blocks, and won't back down; does it all on defense although he is flawed in a few areas and can occasionally be exploited. But I don't really see guys going off on him.

His offense isn't terrible either. I haven't seen him too much this year, but in the mid stage of his development I always compared his offensive game to David Lee but a fair amount more skilled and versitile. Guy has great hustle on offense and just does all the little things. Thats a guy who earns every one of his points the hard way compared to stat padding bigs. Every play has an impact

Definitly deserving of a spot
