The NBA released the first returns of the 2017 All-Star balloting and there is one major surprise sitting on the list. Ahead of such names as Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins — and our very own Anthony Davis — sits Zaza Pachulia.
Were this a list of the final results, Zaza Pachulia would be named a starter in the upcoming game in New Orleans. Woof, fans.
Not only is Pachulia producing a mere 5.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in under 18 minutes a game, Mike Prada of SB Nation correctly stated that Zaza has already been more than compensated for his work this season.
