Who does he deserve over? Vucevic and that's it.

NOT even Vucevic has been a stud

Jimmeh uses his haters to motivate him

Terrible marketing by the NBA

Maybe they will pick him for the slam dunk contest.

While its a shame for him he didn't get picked, I can't see it as a big deal. He has a good head on his shoulders and will use the break to work on his game. Kid is a team first player.

based off his recent play in x amount of mins i think they would be .....

Yeah, I don't see what the problem is with that thought process. Butler's played at a high level no matter the minutes, obviously his efficiency would take a slight hit, but the basic counting stats would definitely go up.

There is nothing wrong with the thought process. Just saying that it isn't an absolute and that's not taking into affect that people will start paying attention to him instead of giving him space to shoot and not boxing him out.

There is no possible way to say his stats will either go up or down until we actually see him getting those kind of minutes for 30 or so games.

I'll give you a pass. I can't really fault you for not paying any attention to that bad Orlando team.

Can't say he got snubbed, but he definitely deserved it if he indeed had made it. Much like Boozer with the ASG.

It's only 9 players on the Rookie/Sophomore teams? It used to be 10.

have the dunk contest competitors been announced yet???

How do they pick players for the dunk contest? Because if it's based on game dunks, Jimmy hasn't really had any fancy dunks to warrant a dunk contest invite. We know he can get up, but he stays humble which may not help him in this case. I was glad to finally see him have a nice one handed breakaway dunk against Milwaukee.

Of course Jimmy got snubbed and I knew it because he's been playing to well to play in the Rookie/Sophomore game.

But it's in his hometown

But it's in his hometown

true

I don't see anything wrong with the selections. Butler just isn't getting as many minutes as those other guys.
