This season's Suns continued the fiery performance of last season, ranking first in the West. Paul has entered the 17 season of his career, and at the age of 36, his performance is still very strong. Although the score is not particularly outstanding, in terms of organizational offensive ability, Paul is still in the first place, which is also an important factor for the Suns to achieve good results. Paul has a chance to be the assistant king this season.
Objectively speaking, Paul played so many games in the league, and with the record of Suns, the number of votes should not be too low, but in this vote, Shao Wei, who played poorly, got more votes than Paul. In the first round of all-star voting, Paul was ahead of Shao Wei, but in the second round, they were evenly matched, and in the third round, Shao Wei directly surpassed Paul. Paul suffered from the loss of a small city, and the number of fans was very small.
As the number one team, it is impeccable to get the All-Star start, but Paul got very low votes, mainly because as a veteran, Paul's game data is not so good, compared with other players. Moreover, the popularity is not high enough, and Morant, who plays the same position, is quite popular
Compared with Morant, Paul was crushed. As the star of the Grizzlies, Morant's performance this season deserves to be selected as the all-star starter, and the fans' voting directly reflects his popularity and how excellent his performance is. After all, the eyes of the masses are discerning, and his performance is worthy of ranking in the western backcourt. It can be seen that this year will be the first time that Morant has been selected as an All-Star in his career, and it is also the year that his career officially ushered in a blowout! In the same position, Morant is obviously superior.
NBA All-Star starters are voted by players and coaches. Although Paul was not selected as an all-star starter, he will be selected as an all-star substitute by the coach.
