Will Hassan Whiteside make the All-Star Game?
Ehsan Kassim: I believe so. He’s the number one option for Miami and should put up 20 points with double-digit rebounds on a nightly basis. I even expect Whiteside to gain a couple of MVP votes at the end of the season.
Chris Posada: Yes. He could have been one last year and he was lower down the Heat’s totem pole. He’s going to be front and center for the Heat, and his contract will have eyes on him. If he’s at 18 and 13 or something like that, he’s a lock.
Simon Smith: Definitely. With no all-stars currently on the roster, Whiteside appears set to change that. He was dominate in the preseason, with the Heat making him a much more focal point of the offence. More touches on offence should mean a happier and even more engaged Whiteside on the defensive end, which will be great news for the Heat and Whiteside’s all-star prospects.
Allana Tachauer: He darn sure better! I mean look, he should have made the team last year. He’s only improved since then, not to mention is now the Heat’s biggest star. Something is seriously wrong with the league if he doesn’t.
Cory Sanning: At the price tag he’s got, he better. Whiteside now has the freedom and spacing to put up monster numbers, and I believe he will. Not only is he he biggest star on Miami’s roster, his game just keeps improving with every year. He’ll be selected as a reserve.
Kristopher Keaton: It’s certainly a strong possibility but I don’t know if he does. I believe Horford is going to make it, and with Tyronn Lue likely to coach the game, Kevin Love may find his way in as well.
Wes Goldberg: He will, and you know where All Star Weekend is this season? NEW ORLEANS. Whiteside’s Snapchat is gonna be LIT!
