Sports Illustrated recently released its likes and dislikes for NBA players’ chances to make their first all-star appearances this season.

The East is clearly weeks away from sorting itself out into clean tiers. As of Thursday, the top 10 seeds are separated by just three games. That’s bad news for prognosticators trying to peg the East’s reserves, as those decisions often are influenced by team performance.
Drummond, however, should be able to emerge from the clutter and become Detroit’s first All-Star since Allen Iverson in 2009.
