Steve "Snapper" Jones, writing for NBC Sports, names his "Almost All-Stars", players he thinks deserve consideration for the teams that play in Phoenix next weekend.

Noting Lopez needs a few years experience, Jones still writes, "he’ll become a dominant inside player who should turn into a force for the Nets."
