Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has a suggestion for the NBA All-Star Recreation after being considered one of a number of snubs for this 12 months’s roster.
All-Star rosters stay restricted to 12 gamers per convention regardless of NBA groups with the ability to roster 15 gamers at a time. Booker thinks the numbers ought to be the identical, and that All-Star rosters ought to be expanded.
“I feel there’s sufficient gifted guys out right here which might be deserving,” Booker mentioned Friday, via Tim MacMahon of ESPN. “I imply, you take a look at Kyrie [Irving], Norman Powell, these guys are having unbelievable, environment friendly years and profitable video games. And on the East, I’m positive there’s guys too like Trae [Young] and LaMelo [Ball] which might be simply placing up unparalleled numbers. So the extra expertise in there, the higher I feel.”
Speak of snubs has been a dominant theme for the reason that All-Star reserves have been introduced Thursday evening, with one participant even thinking he’s being specifically targeted by his omission. Booker was not chosen regardless of averaging 25.5 factors and 6.7 assists per recreation thus far this season.
One difficulty may very well be that increasing the All-Star Recreation would pressure coaches to seek out enjoying time for an excellent bigger group of gamers. Then again, the sport is already a bit of a joke, so it won’t matter all that a lot.
