The NBA is preparing to unveil the 14 All-Star reserves, introducing a new three-team format that incorporates the Rising Stars champion. The selection process is heated, especially regarding prominent players like Kevin Durant and LeBron James, along with perennial stars Devin Booker and Damian Lillard. Statistically strong cases are made for player selections, notably between Cavaliers guards Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell, as the league showcases the competitive and strategic decisions behind All-Star appearances.
Let's start with guard and the debate between Garland and Mitchell. By stats, Garland has an very strong case. Cleveland has an absurd 125 offensive rating when Garland is on the court this season, and he's having a more efficient season than last.
Should Kevin Durant and LeBron James be starters -- or on the team at all? Will perennial stars Devin Booker and Damian Lillard make the cut? And where does Victor Wembanyama land?
