He should be in the all-star game but not ahead of Elton. Elton is too good at D.

NO he has a huge presence in the game Brnad is the best worker in the post I have ever seen. Brand is my favorite post player ever by the way he plays D and works. He would have same numbers on O but he has Q and Maggs, he doesnt need to score.
Brand was out for awhile and doesn't deserve to go. Others have played well and have proved it. Brand is a very good player but he doesn't deserve it this year. Even guys like Brad Miller and Marion deserve it over Brand. I don't buy the Brand would have better offensive numbers if he didn't play with Q and Maggs theory...thats garbage and doesn't fly whatsoever. Z-Bo has Sheed, Damon, and DA on the team...they all have been scorers in the NBA much longer than Q and Maggs. But Z-Bo still puts up all-star numbers. Really, all of that doesn't matter. The what if's don't apply here.

Brand had a broken foot in the first game and had 25 point 15 rebs and 8 blcks. Brand is the Clips he should be in the game.

Anyway you look @ it Zach's numbers make a major impact.
It's true that he needs to work on his defense, but that will come in time.
Hubie is right, Zach deseves at least a reserve role on the West All Star squad.

He does but I feel Brand should also be there. There should only be 4 guards on the west the rest should be forwards and centers.

brand over Zach......nada.
Why not? Zach has outplayed Dirk so far this year. The all-star game should be based on play so far this year. Let's look at a few numbers:
Zach - 21.3 points/gm, 11.0 reb/gm, 2.4 assists/gm, 0.53 blk/gm
Dirk - 21.1 points/gm, 8.8 reb/gm, 2.7 assists/gm, 1.24 blk/gm
But Dirk should definitely get in before Zach huh? I would say Zach has at least as much chance as Dirk.

I agree.
Even though Zach is putting up better overall numbers then Dirk (and is more deserving from that standpoint) there is no way the coaches will select him ahead of Nowitzki.
No way.

Frankly, I would take Brand AND Zach over a number of better known players.
You have to understand, statistics are a very small piece of the puzzle when it comes to All-Star selection, even for the reserves. Being the best player on a less than mediocre team doesn't count for very much, especially in a conference loaded with star players at the same position.
If Zach were popular enough to warrant getting voted in, then as strange as it sounds, he'd have a better shot at making it. However, the coaches are likely to be much more discerning than the fans, and most coaches realize Zach is only half a player at this point. Dirk isn't exactly a defensive stopper, but he isn't as much of a liability as Zach.
