Jeremy Lambert’s Picks: @jeremylambert88

Western Conference Reserves:

Russell Westbrook: The most obvious choice, but I have a sneaky feeling that he’s going to decline the spot. You really think Westbrook wants to come off the bench for Steph Curry and play with potentially four Warriors? Not a chance.

DeMarcus Cousins: The best big man in the league has Sacramento in a playoff position.

Rudy Gobert: May as well add a little defense to the All-Star game.

Marc Gasol: The second best big man in the league.

Draymond Green: Ugh.

Gordon Hayward: Having a great season for a good Jazz team.

Mike Conley: Hear me out. Conley, Hayward, Kawhi, Gobert, and Gasol on the floor together. Let them know they are allowed to play defense. This will make the All-Star game great again.

Eastern Conference Reserves:

Isaiah Thomas: Obvious choice, even if he’s not the King of the 4th like Boston wants to claim.

Kyle Lowry: Because Tamber would kill me if I left him off the list. – – Editor’s note: well maybe not kill – but definitely a tongue lashing 😉

Joel Embiid: THE SIXERS DESERVE AN ALL-STAR!

Kemba Walker: Having an outstanding year in Charlotte and should have been voted a starter based on his campaign.

Paul George: George is having a down year, but he’s still worthy.

Kevin Love: Remember when he didn’t “fit” in Cleveland?

Kristaps Porzingis: A guy like John Wall might be more deserving, but let Kristaps shine.
