Could Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap make the All Star team next year?

Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap will both have a shot at the All Star team next season, but could they both get on it?

Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap are two players who could be All Stars in the Western Conference. However, with how stacked the Western Conference is with stars now, it will be extremely difficult for both players to get on the team. Is it possible? Yes. Is it going to actually happen? This is a different question.

Millsap has already been an All Star four times already, but Jokic is on the cusp of his first All Star appearance. However, if I were to be hard pressed to say if they can both make it on the All Star team next season, I would have to say no unfortunately.

Why you ask? Look at the players who came to the Western Conference this off season. Jimmy Butler came from the Chicago Bulls to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Paul George came from the Indiana Pacers to the Oklahoma City Thunder. And of course there was Paul Millsap to the Nuggets.

One cannot also forget about other potential first time All Stars. Many feel Rudy Gobert was robbed of an appearance last year. Not to mention, Andrew Wiggins and Karl Anthony Towns are going to continue to get better and better. As a result, it is going to be extremely difficult for Millsap and Jokic to both make the All Star team in the West next season. Plus, you will still have your locks like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard.

Denver is lucky to have two potential All Stars, however, it will be extremely difficult for both of them to make the All Star team this upcoming season. If they do, then great, but don’t get your hopes up.
