2021 All-Star selections
Looks like Book didn't make it.
Thoughts? Who deserved / didn't deserve their slot? Who got screwed?

Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Bam is really the only person who got screwed I think. He’s better than Vuc and on a better team. Some eye-popping numbers getting left out...might be time to bump teams up to 15.
Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Mitchell got the nod over Booker due to record. Suns have the 4th best record in the League, by the way.

Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Ya I don’t really have a problem with that...their numbers are pretty identical. 25/4/4 for Book, 24/5/4 for Mitchell. Book is more efficient scoring, Utah has the better record.
Re: 2021 All-Star selections
I think Booker's slow start to the season is a big reason for this. He really has turned it on over the last 3-4 weeks playing out of his mind. At the end of the day, I think this just fuels him. I don't think too many people are gonna want to be competing against this man - and his team.
Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Exactly. I hope it really pisses Booker off and he makes the league pay on the court in the second half.

I don't really consider a player "snubbed" unless he clearly deserved to be on the team over someone else who was named to the team. That's not the case with Booker this year.

Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Same could be said for CP. Slow start for sure. How to fix it is that you take Zion fucking Williamson out because he’s only good at scoring and doesn’t make his team win because they have a losing record. But it’s politics as usualphatmike wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 5:57 pmI think Booker's slow start to the season is a big reason for this.

So, who made it who shouldn’t have?
Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Zion or you could argue CP too

Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Booker over Zion for sure though maybe not if you enjoy the PER stat because that has him as the 6th best player in the league.
Go Suns!

Re: 2021 All-Star selections
I think you could also argue that, at 13-17, 11th place in the West and tied for 21st in the league, and underperforming expectations especially on the defensive end, the Pelicans didn't necessarily need an All-Star representative this year.

Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Zion is averaging 25 a game on a .656 TS%. And he’s been better than that lately. He’s a 27/6/4/1/1 guy with a .710 TS% in February. He’s an all star.
On a individual basis, if Booker deserved a spot over anyone, it’s Mitchell.

I'd gladly have more wins than two guys as All-Stars.

Re: 2021 All-Star selections
Exactly. People can STFU about Zion. He's a turnstile on defense. His team has a losing record. But he scores at high percentage by being point blank at the rim most of the time. What a star!
As someone else said elsewhere:
Coaches in past seasons; 'Devin Booker is putting up big numbers but needs to win more.'
Coaches this season; 'Devin Booker is winning but needs to put up bigger numbers.'
It's bullshit.
