1. PG Jalen Brunson

Many people were surprised and disgusted last season to see that Jalen Brunson wasn’t named an All-Star reserve. This surprise turned into anger come playoff time when Brunson proved he was a bonafide star with his performance. Now, entering the 2023-24 season, there’s no reason he should be snubbed again if he can build on how he played last season.

In 2022-23, Brunson averaged 24.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game, shooting 49.1% from the field and 41.6% from deep on 4.7 attempts. Despite these incredible statistics and being arguably the best player on a top-five team in the East, Brunson was somehow kept out of the All-Star Game.

Next season, though, there’s no way the NBA will watch Brunson dominate again and keep him away from Indiana.

Fans will have to see how Brunson plays next season. If he keeps putting up these numbers, he should not miss the big game. Even if the fans don’t recognize his greatness, coaches and players should do the right thing and give their colleague the recognition he deserves.
