Now that one election is over, another begins: The NBA on Tuesday released its list of players on this season’s All-Star ballot. There’s 60 choices for the Western Conference team, and three of them are Wolves: Al Jefferson, of course, at center and Mike Miller and Kevin Love at forward.

The All-Star Game is Feb. 15 at Phoenix and the Wolves better do some winning if Jefferson’s going to have a chance of getting there. You can bet Love will be in the rookie-sophomore game.
