The annual All-Star Game will officially start on February 18th, Beijing time. NBA officials also announced the All-Star Game roster last week. When it comes to the All-Star Game, it is inevitable to take a look at the leftovers who were not selected. There will be debates about this every year. Today I will take you to talk about those players who missed the mark and were not selected for the All-Star Game.
Anthony Edwards
averaged 22.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 44.1% and 36.1%. These are Edwards' results this season. At the same time, the Timberwolves are currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference. Judging from his personal performance and team record, I would put Edwards at the top of my list of All-Star Game losers.
This year, Edwards is much more efficient than last season. Both his cutting and jump shooting percentages have improved to a higher level. His scoring average exceeding 20 points per game also proves that he is indeed qualified to enter the All-Star Game roster discussion. Edwards' offense this year is as simple and violent as ever. His strong physical fitness allows him to easily defeat ordinary defenders with his explosive first step. What he can improve now are some details, on-the-spot judgment and reading defenses. . If you look closely at the Timberwolves' game, you will find that if Russell is not present at the critical moment, the team's offense will be in chaos, leaving Edwards alone. How to attack in a more comfortable way in high-intensity games is a topic that both Minnesota and Edwards themselves should think about.
Miller Bridges
If Bridges can maintain his hot performance at the beginning of the season, he will definitely have a place in the All-Star Game, but as the season progresses, his jump shot shooting percentage gradually declines, which also makes He slipped away from being a proper All-Star.
This year, Bridges has improved his jump shot to a higher level. In October, his three-point shooting percentage was a beautiful 37%. Then it went from bad to worse, and in February it was even only 18%. Despite this, Bridges has still raised his per-game averages to star-level levels, with 19.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and a shooting percentage of 48%. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, he is a competent second-in-command. Bridges is Charlotte's top scorer this year. As long as Ball passes the ball well, he can put the ball into the basket gorgeously. It's a pity not to see him appear on the stage of the All-Star Game.
Tyler Herro
The Heat are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference with 34 wins and 20 losses. As the player with the most shots on this team, Herro can certainly be included in the discussion list of losing. Many people may not have noticed, but this year Hiero also raised his scoring average to 20.1 points per game, officially joining the 20-point club. In addition, he averaged 17.4 shots per game, which is much higher than Butler, Lowry and Adebayor. It is said that Hiero is the Heat's most active scorer this year.
But the reason why Shiro is discussed last is because I think he is the most unfortunate on this list. The author mentioned in the previous paragraph that he is the player who takes the most shots on the Heat team, but he does not average the highest points per game. Why? Because the big brother Butler's efficiency is much better than him, so although he takes fewer shots, Butler makes up for it with the frequency and efficiency of standing on the free throw line. Most of the time, Shiro, who mainly takes outside shots, cannot He provides a sense of stability at critical moments, but his performance is also unstable. His offensive efficiency is the most questionable aspect of Hiero.
Devin Vassell
The Spurs' Vassell is certainly not qualified to be selected for the All-Star Game. What I am talking about here is the Rookie Challenge. As a sophomore, Vassell averaged 11.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game this year. His performance was not inferior to Okoro or McDaniels in the same period, and could even be said to be slightly better, but he failed to appear in the All-Star Game weekend. , which is regrettable.
Spurs ace Murray and himself also expressed dissatisfaction in interviews with the media. Murray believed that the final list made his junior feel discouraged.The author believes that this is indeed true. Compared with the first three players, Vassell's failure to be selected surprised and regretted me more. After all, there were too many second-year players who could be replaced by Vassell in the Rookie Challenge. He did not appear. I was very surprised that it was on the list.
Okay, if you have any other regrettable players in your heart, please tell me in the comment area.
