    The reserves have four guards already after Harden and Luka. To put someone in have to take others out.

    Damian Lillard
    Donovan Mitchell
    Russell Westbrook
    Chris Paul

    The person where ...maybe Booker can edge out is Mitchell. Bad team or not; if Booker improved his defense he can up his chances. That or as #1 option, his team becomes playoff bound.

    Coaches vote on the reserves. They tend to know more than the general public. If Booker really care about this type of awards, he can leave the west at his next contract and go to the east.

    I'll take the actual coaches that have a bit more credibility than you to make that decision. none of it was fans like you or the media.

    nobody on this board was gushing over anyone on that roster a year ago. wb not even best player on his own team. foh

    If coaches could vote for their own players, I'd bet MDA would vote for PJ Tucker.

    Would take Ja Morant over Booker or Donovan.

    I'd probably would too. The limited spots make them all the more exclusive. Starter's is a popularity contest and the reserves is a merit based correction.

    By correction, the coaches save NBA the embarrassement of a Curry; barely played but got so many votes. Lakers nation votes:; Dwight, Caruso. Novelty: Caruso and Tacko. Nostalgia: Melo.

    The players who almost made it (Ja, Booker) can be legit argued. Not saying you did, i personally don't count them as snubs because the other guys that made the reserves are deserving.

    And Harden chosen as the last starter. That would mean he wasn't even chosen?
