Squiggle tips Lions at 64% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
His efficiency is at a career high though and he’s the best player on the 4th best team in the league as it stands.Which bit is rubbish?
1. He has had to adjust to playing with CP which was rough to begin the season, they are starting to figure it out recently but I don't think you can deny there was a meshing process.
2. He'd dropped from 6 AST p/g to 4p/g. I don't think you can argue his playmaking has reduced this year.
3. You're not telling me he's anything above an average defender are you?
4. His TO rate is still high, even though he's running the O less with CP on board.
I'm not calling him a trash player or anything but it's not an outrage he didn't make the team. He's thereabouts with the others on the fringe.
Btw, All star is given on the whole season, not just his last month
His efficiency is at a career high though and he’s the best player on the 4th best team in the league as it stands.
The narrative previously was that he was an empty stats padder who couldn’t win.
He’s now producing at a more efficient rate and his team is winning.
All of the other Top 6 teams as it currently stands have at least two All Stars.
Mitchell was shooting at 33% for the first month of the season, so despite a slowish start for Booker, his game has picked up.
The West will always have guys who are stiff but Booker has very strong case to be included.
He’d be no chance in the powerhouse that is the EastNeeds to learn from LaVine.
They’re one game above .500 so the 4th seed is a little misleading. You could certainly make a very strong case for him over Vuc though.For all the outrage about Booker (who I don’t necessarily think was a flat out snub; I’m fairly indifferent about it) I still think the Sabonis snub is where the anger should be directed. Best player on the 4th seed in the East isn’t getting a gig averaging 22/12/6? FOH.
Booker might prefer to stay home and finish through Kendall’s contactAD must not play. Simple
And won't through injury. Does Booker come in or do they go for a front court player like Ingrham?AD must not play. Simple
He'd be a chance after two or three injuries, a small chance but a chance nonetheless.He’d be no chance in the powerhouse that is the East

I agree with almost everything you said there. He has improved his efficiency year on year, which he should be commended for. Not an easy thing to do.His efficiency is at a career high though and he’s the best player on the 4th best team in the league as it stands.

I mean Embiid is playing at an MVP level no doubt but Simmons is absolutely an All starYep 100% agree. That one off game a couple of games ago everyone went over the top with. Really Emblid has carried the team to where it is.
Does it have to be a big anyways? I mean you're just selecting 7 reserves arent you? I honestly think they selected him knowing he is out and wont play so they give him the nod cos he's AD and then just select the guy who probs deserves it more as an injury replacement.Who else you putting in though? Next big in line is probably Ayton, and 14/11 isn't any better than 22/8. (Unless I'm completely forgetting someone?)
Don't mind Book missing. Numbers have been down a bit and it was probably between him, CP and Mitchell for those two guard spots. Utah should have two players and CP gets the veteran bump over the line. Probably next in line if someone is injured anyway.
Been some incredible snubs. Trae Young is another I was thinking about, just averaging a lazy 27 and 9 and doesnt make it in. Butler should be an All Star too but I guess they deemed he didnt play enough.
I think Jimmy only misses out because of how many games he played. I'd bring him in for Tatum if Butler had played more games.Literally the only thing keeping Trae "efficient" is his Harden-esque foul baiting, 27 points on 18 shots with 9 of those points coming from the FT line per game isn't All-Star worthy.
He wasn't a snub.
Wouldn't say Jimmy should be an All-Star this season at all, who should he replace?

I’d make Harden captain. The team dinners would be epic
Can’t defend, can’t play without the ball. Needs to mature and learn how to be a better teammate and team player.Been some incredible snubs.
