Kaman plays in the West, but what point are you trying to make?

That's not true actually. The coaches are required to select 2 reserve forwards, 2 reserve guards, 1 center and two wildcard players of any position.
There very may well be 6 forwards selected to the All Star game.

All I gotta say is if Caron doesn't make the team. It's a crime.
There are only 3 players in the entire league this season who are averaging at least 20 ppg 6 rpg and 4 apg.
Kobe Bryant
Lebron James
Caron Butler

Hedo is averaging 19.6 ppg 4.1 apg 6.1 rpg... So he could also be in that group if you round up the 19.6 to 20. Still though Hedo is having a solid year on a solid team.

They'll list Bosh put Bosh in as a forward, a wild card or list him as a center if they have to, but he'll be on there. It would be highly amusing is a guy like Shaq, Z or Dalembert, or even JO, Sheed or Ben was in the ASG and Bosh was not. Jamison might squeak in there, although he really isn't much of a big, but I think Butler will be in the ASG before he will and the Wizards simply aren't good enough to justify two allstars. The EC wignmen aren't THAT good that they justify creating a team full of smaller players.
I don't feel that Jamison, Butler and/or Pierce have been any better than Bosh this season, though not any worse, either (although Bosh has been miles better defensively than either of the Wizards). Jamison and Butler have certainly exceeded expectations with Arenas out and Bosh hasn't been up to full speed long enough this season to meet his expectations yet but that doesn't mean Bosh's play is lagging behind those two.
I don't expect Bosh to play much in the ASG, though (as seems to be usual). Rivers will be the coach and Pierce and KG figure to take the bulk of the minutes along with LBJ.

I agree with a lot that your saying, but there's no way Bosh has been MILES better than Butler defensively. Butler leads the conference in total steals and steals per game. I know it's just a stat, but you don't lead a conference in steals by playing bad defense.
