Five players from the Warriors will be in the all star game, the fans wills it.

The Process should be in the all star game too.

A Cousins/Davis frontcourt is scary.

Even NBA 2k17 rejected that trade. Divac could've gotten more.

I reckon that duo is definitely in the realms and has potential to surpas , Duncan and Robinson / Sampson and Olajuwon / Parish and McHale.

Big question mark for me is whether or not twin towers can still work in the modern three-ball era. Duncan and Robinson won their title together in a season where the league averaged 4.5 threes a game on 13.2 attempts (33.9%), and the lockout condensed season made players lethargic and the season slow paced, which tends to favour the slower but stronger big man.

This season, the league averages 9.7 threes a game on 26.9 attempts (35.9%), and the speed of which the games are being played is much higher (96.5 this season vs 88.9 in 98'-99'). Whilst Cousins and Davis can shoot from out there, Cousins is at best, slightly above average at threes, whilst Davis is definitely below average. And I'm not saying that threes are the be all and end all these days, but it's clear that both players excel in an area of the game that is less important now than it was back then.

So can it work? I'd say probably, but early signs are pointing to a flop with three straight losses...

The 2013 draft class really was a bunch of late bloomers, weren't they? At first the entire class seemed like a bust but it's actually turning out alright now;

Otto Porter: EXTREMELY efficient scorer that's playing a key role in Washington's rise into contention.
Cody Zeller: One of Charlotte's best players, and it's a shame he doesn't play more minutes.
CJ McCollum: Points a plenty. Portland is still meh, but it's points.
Giannis Antetokounmpo: Best player of the draft, and the heir apparent to the point forward throne when LeBron winds down.
Rudy Gobert: Almost everything that you want your centre of the team to be.

And then there's a bunch of good fringe starters and role players that came out of the draft too (Oladipo, Noel, Caldwell-Pope, Adams, etc). Yeah, it's still not an amazing draft, but it's now far removed from the disaster that was 2000...

A draft that produced a grand total of three all-star players (Kenyon Martin, Jamaal Magloire, Michael Redd). Hedo Turkoglu, Mike Miller, and Jamal Crawford were the only other standouts.

I don't think it's far-fetched to believe that at least three more players out of those left from the 2013 draft can make an all-star game at some point and place 2013 ahead of 2000, and Giannis looks like he's going to be a better player than anyone from the 2000 class.
