Rajon Rondo has a torn ACL. Surgery date TBD.


With Rajon Rondo out due to a ACL injury does this put Kemba in his spot in the All Star Game? His only real competition is Jennings what are your thoughts?

[Daddy Uncle]

idk

[MrBubba]

Bobcats so no

Kemba deserves it, but won't get it.

Kemba deserves it, but won't get it.

Agreed, He is one of the most improved players in the league and he's balling out this year.... The only problem is we don't have the wins

[theyhateme45]

Not a chance

[rscott94]

Not a chance

Who would you put in Rondo's shoes then?

[PantherFaithful]

Brandon Jennings will get it

[ZB1224]

Brandon Jennings will get it

Didn't mean to give you pie, but oh well lol.

Unfortunately you are right. Jennings will get the spot, and while he is a good PG... Kemba is having the better individual season. Jenning's team is much better though.

Stern gets to pick the substitue. Already the NY papers are trying to give Deron Williams a push. Jennings will probably get the nod. Kemba has about a 2% chance.

They are not going to choose someone to put in rondo shoe's... that's not how it works...The coach simply picks the next best player regardless of position. More than likely Irving moves from the bench into the starting lineup (Coaches choice) and the most deserving player is added to the bench as the last wild card spot... This could be Lopez, Josh Smith, or one of the point guards...

But having all those players at different positions to choose from I will put big $$$$ on the fact that Kemba Walker from the leagues worst team is not added to the all star team.

Good point... I really didn't know how the NBA all star game worked thanks!

Well, here's some Pie back. lol.

As a bobcats season ticket holder, i would love it if Kemba was a allstar. But yeah, Jennings will get it

Kemba while having a really good season and currently sits at 6th in the eastern conference among guards in Efficiency ratings. For Efficiency/48 he sits at 9th. Jennings is just as deserving as Kemba and is having just as good of a season on a better team.


Rondo, Irving, Holiday, Wade, Williams, Walker, Jennings, Nelson, Lowry, Ellis are the top ten in Efficiency.
Lowry, Wade, Irving, Wall, Rondo, Holiday, Calderon, Williams, Walker, Robinson are the top ten in Efficiency/48.


In assist Walker is 11th behind Rondo, Holiday, Williams, Jennings, Nelson, Wall, Calderon and Lowry.
In points Walker is 6th behind Irving, Wade, Holiday, Ellis and Jennings.
In steals Walker is 2nd behind Jennings.

As I expected... Lopez replaces Rondo
