Western Conference Reserves:

Russell Westbrook – Don’t think I need to explain this one, but just in case HE IS AVERAGING 30-10-10.

Chris Paul – I know he is hurt, but he has been his usual point god self.

Draymond Green – I hate that he is good enough that I have to pick him.

Gordon Hayward – He is putting up about the same numbers as Paul George on a better team.

Marc Gasol – He has been the best center in the NBA and it’s not that close.

Rudy Gobert – His improved offensive game hasn’t gone unnoticed, but his defensive value alone should make him an All Star.

DeMarcus Cousins – He is the sole reason why the Kings have a shot at making the playoffs, but he is also a big reason why they will never be much better than they are now.

Chris Paul replacement – Mike Conley

Eastern Conference Reserves:

Kyle Lowry – He has been the best guard in the east this season on the 2nd best team, he should be starting.

Isaiah Thomas – His 4th quarter heroics alone should probably get him on the team.

Paul Millsap – Despite all the trade rumors Millsap is quietly having a fantastic season on a team that is now just 1 game back of the 2 seed in the east.

Paul George – Despite his team not being very good, he is having a nice efficient season.

Kevin Love – Should be on the team just so he can throw outlet passes and 3/4 court alley oops.

John Wall – After a rough start to the season he has the Wizards rolling and might be playing the best ball of his career.

Joel Embiid – This one was hard but despite his mins restriction, he has been too dominate to leave off. Plus he has been the twitter MVP of the season. I for one Trust the process.
