That’s A Rap #205: Picking All-Star Reserves
The All-Star starters were announced on Thursday. As is the case every year, there were angry fanbases and debates about snubs. Did Zion Williamson earn a start? Position-less voting likely would have allowed Joel Embiid to be named a starter. From Malachi Flynn to Buddy Boeheim to Chet Holmgren, a number of (frankly, undeserving) players received votes from their peers. Does this mean the voting system is flawed?
Who cares about the questions in the previous paragraph... the draft is happening pre-game — just like how it’s done in the playground! I’ve been fooled before but ** whispers ** I’m excited to watch the Dunk Contest.
