The Playmaker newsletter with Herring_NBA: Who makes the cut for NBA All-Star reserves?
With All-Star reserves being announced Thursday night, I thought it made sense to run down who I’d plug into each conference’s final seven spots if I ruled the world .Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, Lauri Markkanen, De’Aaron Fox
And while De’Aaron Fox might represent a borderline case to some … he isn’t to me. Not when he’s leading the association with 119 points in the clutch while connecting on a ridiculous 60% of his attempts in those scenarios——while serving as the fast-paced engine for the No. 3 team in the conference. He has been more efficient than ever and is turning it over at a lower rate than ever. And while his defense certainly isn’t elite , the improved effort on that end has been noteworthy. He belongs.
Perhaps some will argue for former All-Star Game MVP Anthony Davis, and production-wise, that makes sense. When he’s been on the floor this season, he’s been dominant—certainly the best and most efficient version of him we’ve ever seen as a Laker; at least as far as regular seasons are concerned. The best part: Minnesota, a team that wasn’t fun to watch early on—and that many speculated might make a panic trade after its sluggish start with Towns and Rudy Gobert—is on a nice run. Before their loss Monday, the Wolves were tied for the league’s best record in 2023, at 11–4.
