The first fan returns of the 2024 NBA All-Star voting were released on Thursday, and Kristaps Porzingis is ranked eighth among Eastern Conference front court players.
Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo is leading the vote. Jayson Tatum (third) and Jaylen Brown (fifth) are ranked ahead of Porzingis.
Asked for his opinion on why Porzingis is deserving of more votes, Tatum said:
“Because he’s a big part of the success we’re having as a team,” Tatum said. “Best record in the league. I don’t know exactly, but he’s probably averaging over 20 (points) and eight rebounds or something like that.
