When DeAndre Jordan was not named to the All-Star team last season, Clippers coach Doc Rivers called it "a travesty." Will this be the year the big man breaks through and earns his first All-Star appearance?
We asked our ESPN Forecast panel to predict the players that are most likely to make their first All-Star team in 2015-16. Voters were allowed to select anywhere from zero to five names for the East and zero to five names for the West.
Who received the most votes?

Most likely first-time All-Stars
1. DeAndre Jordan
Clippers | Center
Western Conference
Votes: 33
@ESPNNBA #ESPNForecast DeAndre deserves the #1 spot, primarily because the Clippers promised him a bigger part of the offense.

3. Andre Drummond
Pistons | Center
Eastern Conference
Votes: 25
@ESPNNBA with Monroe gone the paint will be open for Drummond to have a good offensive year. Definite all star this year! #ESPNForecast

Warriors | Power forward
Western Conference
Votes: 24
@ESPNNBA @Money23Green Forward in the West currently too loaded 4 Draymond's breakthrough. Stuck behind Blake LaMarcus KD Kawhi#ESPNForecast

6. Andrew Wiggins
Timberwolves | Small forward
Western Conference
Votes: 19
Kobe once said @22wiggins reminded him of himself @ 19y/o (Bryant made his 1st @ 19) expect Wiggins to make the All-Star team #ESPNForecast
- Chris Cards (@iAmChrisCards) August 27, 2015
#ESPNForecast Andrew Wiggins easily the most likely to make his 1st ASG this year. It's in Toronto. All of Canada will vote him in.

7. Mike Conley
Grizzlies | Point guard
Western Conference
Votes: 18
A healthy mike Conley means a different series against Golden State. It's high time people recognized him #ESPNForecast

8. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Bucks | Small forward
Eastern Conference
Votes: 15
@espnnba #ESPNForecast GA34 has a good chance of making his 1st ASG due to his versatility and improvement this off-season.

9. Goran Dragic
Heat | Point guard
Eastern Conference
Votes: 14
@ESPNNBA #ESPNforecast Dragic is a year removed from being a 3rd Team All NBA.. A duplicate of that season would definitely mean All Star
