Some very early season awards

It's early, but I want to track some favorites for the all-star weekend....

ROOKIE GAME

Starters (first team): Griffin, Wall, Cousins, Fields, Bledsoe

Bench: Wes Johnson, Turner, Aminu, Favors

Greg Monroe, Xavier Henry - alternates

EAST ALL STARS

Starters: Garnett, LeBron, Dwight, D Rose, Wade

Definite Bench: Pierce, Amare, Rondo

Probably Bench: Granger, Horford, Noah, ?

Other possibilites: Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Bosh, Brook Lopez, Wall, Ray Felton, Stephen Jackson, Brandon Jennings

Wow, I couldn't even think of a 12th guy. I'm hoping one of the poss guys steps up. This is a sad year. Bosh might make it even though he's been a disappointment (and Wade is too, but I can't find a better two guard).

WEST ALL STARS

Starters: Dirk, P Gasol, Durant, Kobe, Deron

Definite Bench: CP, Nash, Carmelo, Ginobli, Westbrook

Probably bench: (hard to say) two of the following bigs......

Big guys that are too hard to choose between: Scola, Millsap, David West, Griffin, K Love

Other possibilites: Monta, B Roy, Rudy Gay, Duncan

I can't pick two out of those big guys. Millsap and West are very similar. The others are putting up great stats on bad teams. Hard to believe Duncan isn't a lock, but his scoring is way down. He might get respect votes anyway.
