The players selected for the forthcoming All-Star weekend were revealed by the NBA. The league’s face brought attention to one prominent missing component, despite the fact that some players were unable to make the cut. LeBron James publicly questioned why, after having a fantastic season, Atlanta Hawks standout Trae Young was not selected.
Trae Young, the Hawks’ primary playmaker, is having an outstanding season. He has served as the Hawks’ main offensive player. In addition, his stats are remarkable. Many individuals are unable to comprehend the process of player selection after the All-Star voting was restructured. It appears James was unable to solve it either. He brought up this point when discussing Young.
Since cats have a history of getting in with much nastier records, it can’t be about Ws/Ls. He’s the chef every night! Put an end to it! He is undoubtedly an all-star. There’s definitely something off.
James was responding to a tweet he read in which the person was attempting to ascertain why Young had been left out. James was perplexed as to why the star player for the Hawks was not an All-Star.
Despite having a fantastic season the previous year, Trae Young was not included on the All-Star team. Despite his improved numbers this year, he is still struggling to make the team. On the other hand, this year’s group includes players with lower statistical records. Young has received criticism despite his season averages of 27 points, 2.9 rebounds, 10.9 assists, and 1.4 steals.
When Trae Young first entered the league, he was an incredible young scorer. Following a trade with the Dallas Mavericks on draft night, the 6’1 point guard joined the Hawks. Since joining the league, he has produced at a very high caliber. Young is having his second consecutive season of at least 25 points and 10 assists per game. Also, this is his second consecutive All-Star omission.
These kinds of figures typically ensure at least a backup position on the All-Star team. Young has a higher career point average than Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic may have this season. This season, Banchero is an All-Star for the first time.
Therefore, even though it is obvious that the teams’ fortunes also had a significant impact on the voting, James’ comment does make some sense. Still, Trae Young can take comfort in the knowledge that LeBron James thinks he should be an All-Star.
