Wow, 4 guys on the bubble made it. That means the list of snubs has to be long. That's what this is good for. Now we can begin talking endlessly about the snubs.

The biggest snub is KAT. Probably a top 10 player, certainly a top 15 player didn't even get named to the all-star game. Another guy who is almost as big a snub is Ja Morant. I think Ja Morant, only a rookie, is one of the best players in the league. There's 6-8 other names in the same ballpark as CJ that have such a long streak of snubs, you can't even call it a snub anymore.

I thought initially the list would have more players like my top 2, but I forgot the usual 3 Warriors that make it are out.

Paul George is a top snub. I knew I was going to forget someone. He has missed a lot of games, but he's close to top 15 if not top 15.

Doncic injury could lead to a Dame start!

When is the All Star Draft? I wonder if Lillard will be the first pick?

Anthony Davis will be the first pick.

I was thinkin the starters were picked first, then the reserves. is that not correct? Could Lillard actually be picked before some of the starters?

Starters are picked first. Lillard could be the first reserve pick (assuming he stays a reserve).

3 point contest is adding 2 shots from 6 feet beyond the 3 point line worth 3 points each. That has to make Lillard the favorite.

It's too bad they don't add a few more long bombs (4 point shots) to the contest, even if it is just one half court shot.

I think you're all a bunch of losers.

Not a promising debut post, and completely unprovoked. You'll be banned from this forum soon if you continue this way.

Fellow Blazer forumers, please do not further engage with this post.

It was hilarious seeing a clearly inferior player picked before him once Giannis made the first pick of the Reserves draft. Guess he didn't want to piss Middleton off since they are temmates.

The all-star draft is interesting. Way more interesting than any all-star game ever played. Lillard was taken 10th, which theoretically means Lillard is the 12th best player. Of course, Curry, Thompson, George, and KAT were not in the selection pool. I would have taken Jokic at #9 ahead of Lillard, but not Middleton.

Middleton was only picked because Giannis didn't want potential problems in the locker room. I also think Lillard was better than a good number of the East starters I would rather have Lillard than Kemba or Trae Young.

If this was a true free for all draft where the players are free to pick any all-star player, I have a feeling Lillard would have been picked much earlier.

It didn't hurt the locker room to take Pascal Siakam, Kemba Walker, and Trae Young ahead of Middleton.

He had to pick those dude, like I said EVERY Starter must be selected first. Then the players get to pick from the reserves taking turns meaning Lillard+Middleton+Bam etc..

Here you can see the draft in action notice the names in the middle those are the possibilities, Bron can't jump and pick a reserve before the starters have been picked.

Watch on YouTube

**** no one wanted Harden he went nearly last as far as the starters went, I guess a ball-stopper like him is not fun to play with.
