Even AndyBLarsen is surprised by some of the choices he made on his NBA All-Star starters ballot. See who he voted for and why.
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen scores against the Los Angeles Lakers during the second half of an NBA basketball game Friday, Nov. 4, 2022, in Los Angeles. This year, I have the honor of being one of 100 selected NBA media members who vote on the All-Star starters — and this game is in Salt Lake City!
Beyond that, I think it’s a three-way contest between Jaylen Brown, Kyrie Irving, and Tyrese Haliburton for the second spot. Brown is scoring 26 points per game for the league’s best team, while Irving is still one of the league’s most fearsome guard scorers, including his 48-point performance against the Jazz on Friday night.
In the end, my edge was again in scoring efficiency: Giannis’ shooting percentages are hovering around league average this year, being just less able to make shots in the midrange than in seasons past. Some of this is definitely due to his Bucks’ supporting cast — Khris Middleton’s injury isn’t helping. But Antetokounmpo has just missed more shots than usual this season, and those empty possessions have contributed to the Bucks’ 23rd-ranked offense.
Nikola Jokic is probably once again the front-runner for MVP, as he’s carried the Nuggets to the league’s second-best record, just one game behind the Celtics. He’s hugely responsible for the Nuggets’ No. 1 offense, and is averaging a triple-double while making 63% of his shots. Just insane.
