The 2022-23 NBA All-Star Weekend, set to be in Salt Lake City, Utah, is just over a month away.
The All-Star Game rosters, composed of 24 combined players — 12 apiece from the Eastern and Western Conferences — will, once again, be an incredibly difficult brain exercise for voters to navigate.
For starters (no pun intended), one of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid — four of the best players in the East — won’t be starting in the All-Star game with only three available frontcourt starting slots. That same issue plagues the Western Conference in the backcourt, though not as drastically.
