SGA is already a starter for the West. It was nice to see the coaches and players have some common sense and keep Steph out of the starting lineup.
Out East, Maxey is a virtual lock. Randle and Bam are also likely in the frontcourt bench players.
Out West, joining SGA will likely be Booker, who just scored 62 points in a game this week.
Also in contention are Towns (who also scored 62 this week), Murray (who's averaging 24 and 8 in the month of January), Fox (who is looking for his second straight All-Star appearance), and Davis is looking like the HOF player we all knew he could. He dominated the in-season tournament and has been healthy.
I think Murray gets snubbed again (he's never been an All-Star) and Towns gets a nod over Davis because Minny is the best team in the West. Fox likely loses out because Steph will get a nod before he does.
Once the dust settles, Maxey will be UK's newest NBA All-Star and represent out 19th all-time All-Star, which will officially move Kentucky past UCLA for the most NBA All Stars of all time (UCLA and UK are currently tied at 18 individual all-star players right now).
Yes, all of this matters. It's huge for recruiting.
