Anderson Varejao is an All-Star

[ojandpizza]

Agree, Andy is playing great, there are just too many bigs who have a skill set I would much rather have when trying to build a contender. Many of which would also see a PPG and RPG boost if they were playing with the same cast Andy has.

Andy should be a All Star but rec wont get him in.

I've always respected Sideshow Bob. It would be a great testament to how much he has improved in the NBA. But too bad it probably won't happen though.

K Love's made it the past few years and the T Wolves haven't been up there recordwise. Since when does W-L record matter for AS consideration? Varejao's been balling, if he keeps it up he'll be an AS regardless of Cle's record.

Is he the best C in the league? Let's not go overboard.

Re: Anderson Varejao is an All-Star

If we're talking best C in the league this year and not overall(meaning over the course of 2-4 years), then he has a strong case at that claim.

And why would people include Kevin Love as one of the best Centers in the league?

Well yeah, I don't think anyone is going to take Andy over Dwight the past few years.

This year, though? I don't see a Center I'd take over Varejao, personally. He does everything very well, is mobile, can defend, rebounds like a machine, is a hustle player to the max and has even learned to score a little bit this year.

Hopefully the Cavs trade him away to be on a contender, because he'll be a godsend to a couple of teams in the league.

Kevin Love isn't a center y'all.

Kevin Love isn't a center y'all.

I don't think people were referring to him as a center, I think it was in reference to him putting up good numbers on a crappy team and still being an All-Star

See, this says nothing about Love being a center.

Re: Anderson Varejao is an All-Star

So all you need is a month to be declared the "Best"or an All Star? You can leapfrog that easily?

15 games?

He was putting up similar numbers last year as well before he got hurt and that was about 25 or 30 games into the season.

Yeah, similar. You're looking at per game averages. Varejao is getting a lot more minutes this year compared to last year, so looking at his per game averages aren't even fair. He's got a notably improved shot from mid range and the free throw line this year.

His per 36 minutes shows:

11-12 /// 12.4ppg 13.2rpg 2.0ast 1.6stl 51%fg 67%ft
12-13 /// 14.6ppg 15.0rpg 3.2ast 1.5stl 52%fg 77%ft

.... similar

Andy is balling, but my dude here is as well with a lot more talent around him. Let's not lose sight of that.
