The NBA All Star Game Coach Selection Culprits

What is really controversial about the calls, however, is that Charlotte will not even have a player in the big party, whether bridges or ball.

Domantas Samponis (Indiana Pacers)
His numbers: 19.1 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal averaging 35 minutes
In a few words: After back-to-back calls in the All Star Game, the Lithuanian was left out and paid the “marble” for the Pacers’ poor course, claiming more… NBA draft picks this year than a Play-In tournament spot.

Samponis has another great season. He’s one of the best rebounders in the NBA and one of the best tall passers in the league. However, it failed to make the final selection.

Jalen Brown (Boston Celtics)
His numbers: 24.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals on average in 35 minutes
In a few words: Jalen Brown has similar numbers to last season when she became an All Star. This time, however, he wasn’t even close to Cleveland. The reason is clear: Given the course of the Celtics, both he and Jason Tatum could not be called up, with the latter eventually receiving the anointing.

Brown is one of the top scorers in the NBA, but also one of the best two-way players in the league. However, because Boston underperformed in the first half of the season, he failed to be called up.

Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
His numbers: Averaged 22.3 points, 5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 35 minutes of play
In a few words: In his second season in the NBA, the 2020 NBA Draft #1 is doing magical things and is the perfect complement to Carl-Anthony Towns. Edwards is an explosive scorer who combines spectacle with substance and certainly a possible presence in the All Star Game would guarantee (even more) spectacle.

Edwards is considered one of the future faces of the league. For now, however, he was aware that he would have to wait his turn since Townes had priority in Minnesota. If he keeps this up, his own call won’t be late.
