Carter and Wade.

They just need two guards, don't have to be point guards.

I hope Rondo gets in, because ASGs suck balls without capable fast break PGs. But after Wade, Arenas, Carter, Johnson, Harris. There's one spot maximum for another guard.

Harris won`t make it. NJ will be bottom 5 in the league...

I don`t see Rondo having a chance. He just won`t score enough points to get in...

Here is how the PG's rank in the East right now:

1. Arenas
2. Harris
3. Nelson
4. Rose
5. Mo Williams
6. Rondo

I think Rondo could surpass Mo Williams this year but Nelson and Harris are primed to have much better seasons statistically. How do you make all star game averaging 7 ppg or even 12 ppg (his likely season average) when 4 guys in ECF are going to get 15-20 ppg and all usually average as many assists in a season?

I think you need to think a bit harder about it. What about Gilbert Arenas? How about D. Rose? What about D. Harris? Let's wait till Rondo makes ONE all-star team before penciling him in as a starter.

I would say it's probably a long shot for Rondo to make the All Star team this year. IMO, Arenas, Rose, and Nelson have a better chance and Harris and Mo Williams have about the same chance to make it as Rondo. Unless he gets voted in by the fans I just don't see it happening.

It'd be a travesty if Rondo, a top 5 PG in the NBA, doesn't make the all-star game

He doesn't score enough to get the votes, although he has a pretty high profile after last year's playoffs...I think he probably is the best PG in the conferenc though, unless Arenas really comes back strong.

my favorite player for sure but I don't see it ppg needs to be 14 or higher...He has a lot of work to do for that...it helps that devon is hurt but rose will get it..

Don't the fans only vote in the starters? I'm sure the GM(coach?) vote will get him in, or the ASG coach's selection will. I think the Celtics send Paul, KG, and Rondo this year.

Perhaps, but I would rank Devin Harris and Derrick Rose higher than Rondo. He is closer to the likes of Jameer Nelson and Mo Williams IMO.

With Rose it's obvoiusly just a matter of time until he's better than Rondo; I think Harris is probably close, but I think he's kind of a good numbers on a bad team type. Williams and Nelson are just shooters to me. I'd go 1. Arenas 2. Rondo 3. Rose 4. Harris 5. Nelson 6. Williams

If he continues to but up the numbers he has thus far he won't make it. If he puts up numbers like he did in the playoffs I think he will. At this point I don't see how anyone would think he is a sure thing. I don't even think KG is a shoe in unless he reverts to form. 14ppg won't get it done.
