Disagree on Booker:

27.1 ppg
4.1 reb
6.4 apg

But it's the efficiency with a real PG in the mix that jumps out even more...

51% fg
37% 3fg
92% ft

We haven't seen a guard with numbers even remotely close to that around here. He's having a fabulous year. Beyond that... the Suns have already won more games this year than last season and that's with Ayton's 25 game suspension.

I don't think Russell can make a case. And if you stack up Towns and Booker... I don't think Towns has much of one either with all the missed games.

So who do you take out to put him in?

Tough call.

Westbrook has been really good lately and has the name cred. Paul doesn't have the numbers, but has been key to the OKC surprise season.

I understand why Booker didn't make it in a loaded conference. But to say he "he's not close" and group him with Russell and Towns seemed off. It sucks for Booker if he's into such things, considering it might be the best stat line in recent years NOT to make the ASG.

Booker should have made it over Ingram. More pts and assists better shooting %, his team is a game better then Ingram

Did it come down to a backcourt/frontcourt thing though? I read that somewhere.

I'm not really sure of the criteria. I detest the NBA ASG, so I don't really give two sh#$%.
