After bursting onto the scene as rookies, is it only a matter of time until stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis take their games to All-Star levels? And can DeAndre Jordan, still searching for his first invite, finally add "All-Star" to his NBA résumé?
We asked our ESPN Forecast panel to predict the players most likely to make their first All-Star team in 2016-17. Voters were allowed to select up to five names for both the East and West.
Who received the most votes? Who got snubbed by our panel? To participate in the discussion, #ESPNForecast is the Twitter hashtag to use.
