Settling for the All-Star Reserves - West


The All-Star starters have been named. That is the 1st step of completing the All-Star roster. Fans did their work.

The next step is to determine the reserves. That is the work of the coaches, who have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two more players of any position.

So, how can we distinguish the field? Let's comb things through the Western Conference:

Northwest Division:

Oklahoma City: Russel Westbrook, Serge Ibaka
Portland: LaMarcus Aldridge, Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nic Batum
Denver: Ty Lawson
Minnesota: Kevin Martin, Nikola Pekovic
Utah: Gordon Hayward

Pacific Division:

Los Angeles C: Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Jamal Crawford
Golden State: David Lee, Klay Thompson
Phoenix: Goran Dragic
Los Angeles L: Pau Gasol, Nick Young
Sacramento: DeMarcus Cousins, Isaiah Thomas

Southwest Division:

San Antonio: Tony Parker, Tim Duncan
Houston Rockets: James Harden, Dwight Howard, Chandler Parsons
Dallas Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki, Monta Ellis
Memphis Grizzlies: Mike Conley, Zach Randolph
New Orleans Pelicans: Anthony Davis

As such:

Guards: Russ, Lill, Wes, Ty, KMart, CP3, JCraw, Klay, Dragon, Swaggy P, Isaiah, TP9, Beard, Monta, Conley

Frontcourt: Serge, LMA, Nic, Pek, Hayward, DJ, Lee, Pau, Boogie, TD, Dwight, Chandler, Dirk, Z-Bo, Brow

Which leads me to this:

Reserve Guards: Lillard, Paul
Reserve Forwards: Aldridge, Dwight, Nowitzki
Reserve Wildcards: Harden, Parker

Will wait for Adam Silver's call: Davis, Dragic, Lee
Should be stewing: Cousins, Conley, Randolph
