Yes, I landed the top prize in Morant, but you're walking away with Antetokounmpo, Jokic, Ball, Doncic and LaVine. Quinn (Team LeBron): If I have one regret here, it's that I sacrificed so much in the way of showmanship. The last thing this team needs is more shot creation. LeBron's trend of taking Utah players last continues for another year, but more than anything, Mitchell is just a bit redundant on an All-Star roster. Lakerologist Sam Quinn will draft for Team LeBron and Brooklyn resident James Herbert will draft on behalf of Team Durant. Then they will draft from a pool of 14 reserves, including newly named injury replacements LaMelo Ball (replacing Durant) and Dejounte Murray (replacing Draymond Green, who will not be eligible to be drafted).īefore they actually fill out their rosters, CBS Sports will do it for them. James and Durant will draft from a pool of nine starters, including Jayson Tatum, who has for the second straight year been bumped up from his reserve spot in order to replace Durant. (He has been sidelined since mid-January with a sprained MCL.) And unfortunately, just like last season, Kevin Durant will miss the actual game due to injury. Since the captains-draft-the-teams format has only been around for five years, this means that Team LeBron has always picked first, a byproduct of a streak that dates back even further: James has led all players in All-Star votes every year since 2017.Īfter James makes his selection in Thursday's All-Star Draft, it will be Team Durant's turn, just like last season. For the fifth straight year, LeBron James will have the first pick in the NBA All-Star Draft.
