Drummond/Monroe/Cousins?

Oh lawd...

There's no way Detroit gets Cousins without giving up one of Monroe/Drummond.

And I'm not even a Pistons fan but I'd be highly pissed if they trade Drummond.

MAGIC.

you a bitch.

calling you out.

not really.

but you said you more wanted content in this thread, and less one-line posts about the favorite teams, etc...and such.

so anyway, EVERYONE, let's discuss a topic. who is the best player to never make an all-star team? let's say modern times, so just players drafted in 2002 or recent.

**Notorious** · 12-29-2012, 12:36 PM

Players drafted since 2002...

I'd have to say Josh Smith.

**Mikey Damage** · 12-29-2012, 12:40 PM

Smith is a nice shoutout.

averaging about 16 ppg, 8 rpg, 2.5 apg, and 2 bpg the past 7 years.

he's no LUOL DENG. who was going to be my vote until i remembered that he made the AS game last year. fux!

**Notorious** · 12-29-2012, 12:47 PM

Smith should've made the All-Star Game last year. A damn shame he didn't.

**WWF** · 12-29-2012, 12:50 PM

I'd consider anyone in the NBA to still be considered in "modern times," so my vote goes to Lamar Odom.

Conforming to your criteria, I'd say Ben Gordon ('06-'08), Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, Kevin Martin, Monta Ellis, Rudy Gay, etc...

There's some other guys that are just starting to really show what they can be (Holiday/Curry/LARRY SANDERS/etc.)

Edit: Roy had a setback with his knees and is out for an unknown amount of time.

**Notorious** · 12-29-2012, 12:52 PM

Martin and Monta never really were All-Star caliber players, they just scored a lot of points on mediocre teams, especially Monta.

Odom only had one season where I think he could've been an All-Star and that was 2010-11.

**Mikey Damage** · 12-29-2012, 12:57 PM

I'm going to agree...Martin and Monta ain't shit.

Ben Gordon was really good. Especially in DRose's first year. He was the dude in Chicago for a solid 3 years.

2010-11? Why?

'00-'01: 17.2 Points, 7.8 Rebounds, 5.2 Assists, 1 Steal, 1.6 Blocks
'03-'04: 17.1 Points, 9.7 Rebounds, 4.1 Assists, 1.1 Steals. 0.6 Blocks
'06-'07: 15.9 Points, 9.8 Rebounds, 4.8 Assists, 0.9 Steals, 0.6 Blocks

There's a couple of years where he averaged 10+ rebounds, but his scoring and assist numbers weren't at up to par with some of his other great years.

Edit: IDK, I was just going through lists of drafted players and mentioning anyone who have had good numbers. Could make a case for Brook Lopez as well, I suppose.
