Well anyone surprised as to who made the ASG/3 point shootout?
Any predictions?

Here's some numbers:

Dating back to Season 2, the series record is 6-4 in Great 8's favor, Great 8 taking an early lead 2-0, but Big 8 winning Season 4-6 to make it a 3-2 lead. Then Great 8 won seasons 7-10 making it a 6-3 lead for Great 8, however Big 8 won last season.

So, judging by the rosters, I think it should be a close game but I predict Great 8 will pull out a victory this year.

As for 3 point shootout, my vote is for Giulio Gilardi, as he's shooting nearly 50% on the season and has taken over 50 threes.

I'm surprised Kuntay got beat out at SG for the Big 8.

And for that he's going to go off in the 3 pt competition even though he has the lowest 3%. I mean he did just make a jump in JS :-p

I can't make a prediction on the all-star game... there's no defense, so it's hard to take regular season results too much into account.

Regarding the shootout, I'd like to see Gilardi take it, but I'm just not sure that it's his game. 11-18 in the past two games certainly boosted his numbers, though. He hasn't shot over 35% in the three seasons leading up to this one.

The ending of the 3-point shootout just flat-out sucked. That is all.

Looks like Zichon and Mennitto wouldn't let anyone else touch the ball in the All-Star game. Are they both all offense and no defense?

I think that's just the effect of having no defense *anywhere* in the All-Star game!

My guess is Zichon is pure scoring, no def. Mennitto is a good scorer with def but lacks passing.

Hey now, Mennitto may be an SG first, but he is 11th in the league in assists per game, 8th in total assists. :-)
