Anthony Davis still has a solid shot at making an All-NBA team

It isn't guaranteed either way just yet.

When Anthony Davis signed his five year, $145 million extension this summer qualifying for the Rose Rule seemed to be a forgone conclusion. There are three avenues to securing the Rose Rule and at the time all three seemed perfectly attainable. Davis needed to start the 2016 All-Star Game (he received the third most votes for 2015), be selected to an All-NBA team (he was on the 2015 All-NBA First Team), or win the MVP. Collecting all three requirements when just one would do seemed possible; Davis was the MVP pick for a number of prominent NBA writers.
