The 2022 NBA All-Star starting lineup has been released, with James and Durant becoming captains, with James being voted the king of the votes for the ninth time. Only for the total of ten people in the east and west to become the starter, public opinion is also doubtful about some candidates, and now the US media inventory has no chance of the 4 pearls that started this year's All-Star, Doncic is at the top, Harden, LaVine and Paul are on the list.
4. Paul
The Phoenix Suns' starting point guard is 36 years old, and Paul may not have the same flashy stats as other point guards in the West, but it's hard to argue about Paul's importance and efficiency. Paul has another great season, and although he averages just 15.0 points per game, he delivers 10.1 assists per game, leading the NBA assist list, shooting 49 percent from the field and ranking third in the league with 1.9 steals per game. The Suns are likely to make the All-Star Game with the best record in the NBA, and coach Monty is expected to become an All-Star manager, which is largely related to Paul at the helm.
3. Lavin
Lavine currently averages close to 25+5+5 per game, and he and DeRozan lead the Bulls to complete the rise, and are currently 30-17 in second place in the East. NBA legend Barkley said on the TNT show that LaVine should be an All-Star starter along with DeRozan. The US media believes that LaVine should replace Trae Young as the starter, even if it is difficult to imagine. It's not an easy shift, but one argument must be made clear that Trae Young has struggled this season and the Hawks are currently 22-25 in fourth-to-last place in the East.
2. Harden
It's somewhat surprising that the Brooklyn Nets superstar missed the start, harden currently averaging 23 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds per game, and Harden's all-around performance has been shown again throughout the season. Another highlight of Harden was that he had to bear most of the burden for the Nets, with Irving not qualifying to play home games and just starting to be allowed to play away games. Durant has been injured recently and will have to be out until next month, leaving Harden to take on the Nets' primary core responsibility.
1. Doncic
Memphis Grizzlies star Morant won the Western Conference backcourt starting position, and it's hard to say he wasn't worth it, but Doncic wasn't inferior to Morant. Doncic has been very consistent, with the Dallas Maverick's star averaging close to an all-around stat of 25+9+9 per game, averaging almost a triple-double and more than one steal per game. Porzingis has been volatile, while Doncic led the Lone Rangers to climb the top of the Western Conference standings.
