I listened to Zach Lowe podcast where he and Howard Beck picked their 12. They agreed on 10 and I feel like those 10 are relatively safe:

Luka Doncic, James Harden, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Rudy Gobert.

One of the Jazz guys would probably be the most likely to be left out, but I think they both get in.

Lowe’s last 2 were CP3 and KAT. Beck had Westbrook and Brandon Ingram.

Both sounded like they had Booker 13th, just missing the cut.

Personally, I wouldn’t consider Westbrook...he’s not that good. CP3 is deserving, he’s been very good and Thunder are surprisingly pretty good this year.

Ingram, Booker, and KAT have the best numbers, but their teams are not very good. KAT has also missed quite a few games.

I think I’d go CP3 at 11, then Booker at 12. KAT is just gonna miss too many games. Ingram has been good, I gave Booker the tiebreaker over him because the suns have been a little better than the Pelicans.
