Should Lamar Odom make the all star team?

Where do you personally draw the line when a player is playing well but is also on a team that will have 2 starters already going?  A few years ago we had 4 guys from the Pistons on the team so I was curious if you guys think he should get in or if you think he should get left off because the Lakers already have 2 guys going.  Or should he be left off for another guy from SA (Manu/Parker) since they are playing the best ball in the conference currently ?

His stats this year so far:

16 points per game
10 rebounds
3 assists
1 block
58% from the field

The one thing that makes me want to say yes is the 58% on field goals.    Very impressive.   I

The question isn't "Should he go," but "Are there enough spots for him to go?"  Nowtizki, Gasol, Durant, Anthony, Beasley,  Love, Griffin, Gay, Scola, West, Aldridge, Millsap, Randolph, and Jefferson are all scoring better than him.  Love, Randolph, Griffin, Gasol, and Camby are out-rebounding him.  Duncan's numbers per minute are better.

He may go, but it will be because of the name recognition of being a Laker if he does.
