Should the New Orleans Pelicans’ Brandon Ingram have made the All-Star team?
Zion Williamson is an all-star less than what would have been an entire NBA season into his career. By most accounts, that already constitutes a successful number one pick and I don’t think anyone would blame the New Orleans Pelicans for celebrating their franchise star’s first all-star berth.
However, the Pelicans should also be asking themselves why they didn’t have two all-stars in this year’s showcase game. Their other cornerstone, Brandon Ingram, went unpicked and hasn’t generally been mentioned as a big snub in the ways that others like Devin Booker (prior to being an injury replacement), Trae Young or even DeMar DeRozan.
