Will Kyle Lowry Get An All-NBA Nod?

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd like to explore the chances that Kyle Lowry, the most egregiously snubbed All-Star this year, has of making one of the three All-NBA teams. Only three times has a Raptor been selected to an All-NBA team: Vince Carter twice (Third team in 1999-2000, Second team in 2000-2001), and Chris Bosh (Second team in 2006-2007).

Lowry is having a career year in almost every available measure and has been the raging heart and soul of a Raptors team that has a shot at securing the third seed in the Eastern Conference and setting a new team record for wins in a season. (They'd have to go 8-3 over their last 11 games to do that.) Will that be enough?

Let's take a look at Lowry's chances by examining the resumes of the other contenders for the six guard spots on the First, Second, or Third team. Each All-NBA team is made up of two guards, two forwards and a center. That means Lowry is competing against both point guards and shooting guards for one of those six spots. Here are my picks for all three teams and thoughts on whether or not Lowry gets in.

he really should. fucks around and gets triple doubles

 

[Hurricane Season]

CP3
Curry
Harden
Wade
 
Those are the locks.  So he'd be in the mix for third team with Dragic, Kyrie, Wall and maybe Isaiah Thomas.

Here i go

Joakim
Kd
Lebron
Harden
Chris paul

Dwight
Blake
Melo
Wade
Curry

Bosh
LMA
Davis
George
Wall

I think?
Just short. Rosters arent set in stone, guys could move teams so dont freak out. I think thats the 15 names though

 

[Hurricane Season]

I don't think Jo gets first team.

 

[Mexi]

He might
Dwight is still hated

But like i said, positioning could change, i still think thats the 15 names

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Nah he won't.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Guys on teams with losing records don't get All-NBA honors, so a couple of those guys Mexi mentioned probably won't get it.

 

[Mexi]

Hard to ignore melo and davis

And yikes i omitted kevin love. Had him there originally, then shuffled the lineups and forgot to reinsert

Tough to do all nba teams. Gonna be tough for kyle to make it

 

[buzzy]

Curry, Harden
Paul, Wall
Wade, Irving

My prediction

So no

 

[Mexi]

Paul Wall tho

 

[buzzy]

Not a Wade Irving fan?

 

[Mexi]

I have kyrie on my fantasy team so im like fuck him

 

[buzzy]

I have Wade on my team, fuck that dude even more. The guy works part-time as an NBA player.

Wade abuses the spurs system
