The fan voting for NBA All Star Voting on Saturday January 22nd and with the Fan voting ending I will examine who they would have voted in as All Star Starters and compared them against who I would have chosen. Lebron James was the highest vote getter and will be one of the Captains when they do the All Star draft. Kevin Durant received the most votes in the Eastern Conference and will be the other Captain. With that being said here is who the Fans would have voted as the All Star starters as of 1pm Saturday.
Western Conference
Frontcourt
LeBron James (Captain)
Nikola Jokic
Andrew Wiggins
Guards
Stephen Curry
Ja Morant
Eastern Conference
Frontcourt
Kevin Durant (Captain)
Giannis Antetokunmpo
Joel Embiid
Guards
DeMar DeRozan
Trae Young
I agree with the Western Conference Starters based on fan voting. This would be Ja Morant’s Andrew Wiggins’ first All Star appearances. It is well deserved Ja is having a MVP worthy season. Also Wiggins is having a strong season with career highs in Field Goal and 3pt Field Goals percent. The fan vote to me will be the Western Conference Starters once the media and Players votes are factored in.
I am mostly in agreement with the Eastern Conference starters that the fans have voted for. I would just swap out Trae Young for Zach Lavine. Zach LaVine is having an amazing season and with him and DeMar DeRozan having the Chicago Bulls in Second Place in the Eastern Conference. LaVine will be a starter once the media and players' votes are counted. Overall the fans have gotten it right this year The Starters will be announced on Thursday January 27th. Next week I will give my picks of the 7 alternates for each Conference.
