Summer Forecast: First-time All-Stars?

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?
