Suns’ Devin Booker supports the extension of All-Star Game Rosters

San Francisco-Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker, one of several prominent all-star snubs, said he thinks it’s time for NBA to expand guards to the league’s middle season exhibition window.

Teams have been allowed to have 15 active players since the 2020-21 season, but the All-Star guards remain limited to 12 players from each conference.

Booker, a four-time all-star that is an average of 25.5 points and 6.7 assists per day. Match, would be on board expanding all-star guards to 15 to match the border of the league team.

“I think there are enough talented guys out here who deserve,” Booker said after Friday’s shot at the Chase Center. “I mean you look at Kyrie (Irving), Norman Powell, these guys have incredible, effective years and winning games. And to the east I’m sure there are guys like trae (young) and lamelo (ball) it Just puts unheard of numbers.

Seven of the league’s top 20 scorers were not selected for All-Star Game, a list that includes Charlotte’s Ball, Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey, Phoenix’s Booker, Sacramentos de’Aaron Fox, Dallas ‘Irving, Clippers’ Powell and Chicagos Zach Lavine.

NBA-Bounding leader Domantas Sabonis was not elected despite an average of 20.9 points and 6.6 assists in addition to his league-high 14.5 rebounds per year. Fight for Kings. Nor was Atlanta’s young people leading the league with 11.4 assists per day. Match and average 22.5 points.

Ball, which ranks fourth in the scoring (28.2 points per game) and ninth in assists (7.3) for 12-32 hornets, did not cut despite getting the most fan votes among the Eastern Conference Backcourt players. He became the first player to led his position group in a fan who voted not to be named an all-star since the vote changed in 2016-17 to also join the media and playing to vote to determine starters.

All-Star reserves are selected via anonymous reconciliation of coaches.

“Obviously, it’s something I would be a part of, but certainly not to complain about taking a week to group with the family,” Booker said. “So it will always be the conversation every year. Who was snubbed? Who didn’t do it? And there are a lot of people deserving.”

The Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said the last two places in each conference typically come down to four to five players, but he is not to expand the guards.

“I like it at 12 o’clock. It makes it unique. It makes it special,” said Kerr, a reserve throughout his 15-year-old gaming career. “But I was never the weird man out. It didn’t bother me. I made my all-star plans in October.”
