The reserves were announced this week for the 2020 NBA All-Star game. Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker, who is averaging 27 points per game, was not chosen. Six guards were chosen from the Western Conference.
The fans in Phoenix are extremely upset and rightfully so. Booker was not selected simply because all star voting has become a popularity contest. Players get chosen based on their performance from there entire career and not there performance for the season.
I have said before that Booker isn’t as good as most fans think, but Booker continues to get better each year. This year he finally has a good coach, a point guard and a big man. The Suns may not make the playoffs this year but they will certainly be close. They have already won more games this season then last and we aren’t even at the break yet.
Booker at some point in his career will be an NBA All-Star. He will also lead the Suns to the playoffs, but he truest deserved to chosen to the all-star team this year.
