NBA All-Stars: Early Picks for the Western Conference

Which potential first-time All-Star is most deserving of making the West roster?

The 72nd NBA All-Star Game will take place Sunday, Feb. 19, in Salt Lake City. With voting officially open, The Crossover staff weighs in on potential starters and first-time All-Stars in the West. (Eastern Conference picks are here.)

1. Who would get your early votes for the West’s two starting backcourt spots?

Howard Beck: Steph Curry and Luka Donu010diu0107. Yes, Curry will be out for a few weeks, but his excellence over the first third of the season earns him a spot on my fictional ballot today.
