“IF the Mavericks are able to stay in the top six of the Western Conference there will be a really good argument for Wood making the All-Star team as a reserve. He contributed 25 points and seven rebounds versus the Spurs and while his two block game streak ended at eight, he’s been the clear second best player on Dallas, passing Spencer Dinwiddie during this stretch. With Dallas sitting in the fourth seed as of this writing, that’s something everyone should be crowing about loudly.”

There are 2 centers I put over him right now in the west, Jokić and Sabonis, maybe Towns but he hasn’t played that good/at all recently, I doubt Rudy gets many votes this year. Ayton might get in over him just by name alone. Wood has a legit shot to make it though, he has to keep playing at a high level,and the team keep winning.
I’ve been voting him every day alongside Luka
Mavs homers gonna homer
Wood isn’t making the ASG averaging 17/8
Wood’s averaging 17/8 he’s not making the All-Star game, not by a long shot. Apart from his numbers there’s also the fact that he’s facing stiff competition. Jokic, Sabonis, LeBron, Zion, Kawhi, Paul George, Aaron Gordon, Markkanen. There’s a lot of guys.
Maybe if get to #1 and Wood raises his scoring average to 20 ppg. Sure. Dream big.
He didn’t play most of the time thanks to Kidd so far. How can he make All-Star reserve!? Unrealistic.
They would have to be top of the west for that to be a possibility
