The Celtics sit with the best record in the Eastern Conference and are widely considered to be among the favorites to win the NBA championship this year. But to some people, that’s not enough to award their players with All-Star selections.
ESPN’s Kevin Pelton published his early list of NBA All-Stars on Monday. Not a single Celtic was listed as one of Pelton’s starters, and only Jayson Tatum received any representation.
Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick White were not listed, though Pelton claims that Porzingis and White could potentially be All-Stars by the time those rosters are officially announced.
