Does Demar deserve to be in the All-Star game?

Too early to tell. If he can keep it up, he could slip in as a reserve. I think Lance Stephenson has a better chance at this point though (starting on the top team, coaches voting is less impressed by scoring) but lots can change.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
If you see KeonClark in the wasteland, please share your food and water with him.

I think, and this is just me, coaches usually pick players who stand out from their respective teams. Demar is definitely one of those. Compared to Teague who is playing good but Horford seems to stand out more in Atlanta. I may be wrong, but this is probably the only way that Demar gets into the ASG.

Yes, as every year he has shown improvement in at least one of his weaknesses but with the way the team is playing no. He deserves it individually just as guys like Monta Ellis, Jamal Crawford, deserve it too. I thought him and Rudy Gay could be potential All Stars but by the way they've been playing, HELL NO. And since stupid Stern removed the Centre position, I doubt that JV will be an All Star.
Regarding George Hill being an All star, I consider him being the weak link on the Pacers' starting 5.

As to the topic, Wade, Wall, Teague, Afflalo. These are the 4 most deserving guards right now, IMO.
A lot can still change. I suspect Kyrie Irving will get a spot over one of these guys. DeMar might get a vote from a few coaches, but I don't think he'll seriously be in the running.
In the end, who cares. Because of injuries, trades and general East suckiness, this will be an extremely weak guard pool. There were years where Mo Williams and Jameer Nelson were All Stars in the East. This year will probably have a couple of such "all stars."

I wouldn't consider Demar an all-star at this point, but well on his way to possibly becoming one. Like others have pointed out, he may need to impact the game more beyond his scoring in order to attract the votes of the coaches.
