 What's the worry y'all uh Just just you know we had gang and you won't be able to see my eyes for the next couple videos And it is what it is. All right, so I was on my way home from San Francisco while we were 40,000 feet in the air. I was thinking about the NBA all-stars the NBA all-star draft was on the Thursday I was flying home on Friday, and I was just thinking about it man 24 equally deserving players were announced as the best performing players of their conference and they're gonna represent their team in Their city and Cleveland this year, but every time we have an all-star game There is going to be a list of snubs a list of players that deserve some love but weren't able to make it into the game So I decide what if I put together the third and a fourth all-star team 12 more players in the east 12 more players in The West who are deserving of maybe some all-star considerations, but didn't necessarily get there So I was like, you know what? Yeah, let's prep that let's prep that today I got home, and I'm like this is a lot harder than you think You know like they're gonna be the obvious ones the people that may have deserved to actually be a real all-star The locks of the top 48 or whatever you want to call it. Um, but once you get to that bottom It's a bit difficult man. So people talk about snubs for the first 24 So I know for sure they're gonna be people in my common sense of talking about what about this guy for the first 48 Hey, man, if you don't make the first 48 in this video my apologies, but I don't even know what else to tell you I don't want us to tell you all right, so there's no real order to this is since I am the general manager This is my list there's no position locks because I've been trying to get rid of that for a half a decade now When in my universe there is no position locks These are just the next 12 players in the conference that I deserve well I think deserve some love today's video is brought to you by prize picks hit that link in the description use Go Kenny because they're matching up to a hundred dollar deposits for all new players You know how easy prize picks is it's just you versus the numbers you pick anywhere between two to five of your favorite players And you pick the over and under on statistics now today's Sunday. I'm not really worried about that There's a two-game slaying the NBA is as I'm recording this. They don't have the over unders on game number two But let me just show you how easy it could be I just created this randomly I could pick over and under on Trey young Jason Take them Jalen Brown all these players and you get to pick between flex and power Flex means that if one thing is wrong you can still walk out with at least 1.5x or power play you need all four to hit but you walk out with 10x prize picks It's great because they run a bunch of different promos every single week I'm there like taco Tuesdays were a person's points assist rebounds might be significantly lowered Do what it normally is because it's supposed to be a free a freebie a layup and it's picking Sunday also if you want to get in and do football or do some e-sports is a lot of different possibilities with prize picks So join the thousands of people that have already used co Kenny Download prize picks and get a hundred dollars up to a hundred dollars matched with your first deposit I appreciate prize picks is weird because I opened up my Twitter account And I be seeing myself doing promos is for prize picks you feel me I'm part of the family you can't be too the east was a lot easier today do meaning that there are more players to choose from I was you kind of scraping a bottom of the barrel when you talk about the next 12 players because there's so many injuries in the Western conference I did have a little bit of a rubric in this one You know I'm saying so like Paul George or Daniel Lillard who would have an all-star season But have been missing time or currently injured are not on his list, but hey it is my list Let me know in the comment section some people that might have missed let's get into it as we start to talk about the eastern conference My absolute lock at the top of the thing this might be Oh, I should I should annoy captain shouldn't I? Because that's how the real less annoyed captains now. This is the hard part So my absolute lock number one was Jared Allen because of my mind Jared Allen deserve to be in the real all-star game It is what it is, but My captain is between him and Pascal Siaka for the eastern conference. I Think if we go about the NBA's tradition of votes I would say Pascal would get more but did Pascal get more all right in the eastern conference front court Jared Allen was just a little bit above Pascal Siaka. So Jared Allen will be my team captain for the second squad of The eastern conference absolutely like I didn't to give you the argument He's nearly level defender on if not, I don't know They might not be the best defense in the league after after Joel and Mies gave them a 40-point triple double But they're one of the best defensive teams in the entire league and Jared Allen is the focal point of the rim protection there Incredible lob threat and he's expanding this game every single day. It feels like lock lock number two in my opinion Let's talk about Pascal Siaka man. Every time I stream on Twitch There's there's a raptor fan or two or three or six Spamming in my tag Kenny. Have you been watching Pascal Siaka? And the answer is yes I don't understand this obsession and this is not specific to raptors fans But y'all do this a lot We're like y'all believe that people ain't watching or the diehard NBA fans ain't watching like sure the casual fan might not be Watched Pascal Siaka Fred Van Vliet, Gary Tran Jr. Oh, yeah, I don't know me Scottie Barnes, but a diehard NBA fan is keeping up with the Raptors just as much as they're keeping up with the next team So yes, I've been watching Pascal Siaka. I've been seeing this absolute tear that he's on He's been playing the playmaker role for this team And there's a bunch of wings that can defend and Pascal is doing his thing and finding open teammates Pascal if it wasn't for his very early injuries like This is the way I think about it. If you aren't necessarily one of the Absolute top guys of the season you need to do a lot for people not to forget your name in a sense that Pascal Siaka Missed the first X amount of games in a season and because of that once he did come back If he wasn't out there dropping 30s at night people won't go really pay attention to him when it comes to voting And when it comes to all-star appearance, he's played 42 games of the season, but that is more I'm looking at the reserves. He's played more games this season than Jimmy Butler has. He's played the exact amount of games Look at Donchich. He's played the amount of games is ready. Go bear The point I'm making is that there are all-star players that played the same amount of time of Pascal Siaka But it's about when you miss the time. I mean, I don't really have a crazy argument of Chris Middleton making it over Pascal Siaka Other than at the time of these things the Bucks were higher in the standings and I guess they still are higher in the standings It's not bad that much. It is what it is Pascal Siaka is on team two. You feel me? And that's fine Player number three that I think is a lock on my second team is Drew Holiday, man If I was picking between Chris Middleton and Drew Holiday and who I think deserved to make the all-star game more It is going to be Drew Holiday But I keep hearing people say like oh, I'm surprised the coaches picked Middleton over Drew and they're not really thinking about the position thing Chris Middleton's a four. Drew Holiday is a guard There's a lot of competition at the guard position So that's why Drew Holiday didn't make it in this list. He doesn't make it. I don't need to explain that one Jalen Brown Don't need to explain it JB is that man next. This is where we start to get into the territory of maybe argument. Okay Miles Bridges, let's talk about Miles Bridges I'm incredible start to the season. He was the front runner for most approved player probably gonna job right now We don't really know how to how to voters are gonna look at job around as far as like is he already a step ahead of winning the Ward the most approved player I don't really know but he's still in conversation for a most approved player for him jumping on to the Scene averaging over 20 points per game And just overall just being an electric electric player. Oh, I'm sorry after last game He's averaging do do do 19.9. So he's not even in the 20 point per game ballclub He's a scrub. He cannot be on this list, but he is on this list next one Okay So they're gonna be a few players on this list that that that are heavily recency biased right because as of right now I'm recording this video this player is hot and they've had moments in the season where they were hot But probably more likely not they're not hot. This is uh, this is maybe some homerism Some biases coming into it. It's my list. Who gives a damn, right? Nicola Vucevich on the season averaging these numbers have been updated because he had another game today But as I'm recording 17.7 12 about 12 rebounds forces and and the in the recent X amount of games He's been absolutely incredible again Now the defense is something that you never asked Nicola Vucevich to do But if it's offensive game is making up for it then you excited about that in Chicago was excited that Vucevich is back Because in the very early stage of the season, he was looking Extremely bad. I know there's a there's a learning curve of having all these new players trying to see who's gonna find him Who's not gonna find them? Where's he gonna find the shots? The early stage of the season was pretty bad But recently he found his life dynamic duo, which is crazy Him and Zach Levine had a little two-man game coming back from last season when the tray happened They're two-man game is decent, but now it's IO de sumo IO de sumo and Nicola Vucevich two-man game is elite legit He be fine and Gucci main in places that other bulls players haven't been able to find him and because of that his stats have been incredible He's been catching posters. He's been hitting big shots. I'm getting Vucevich a nod here. Does he deserve to be here? It's my list. I don't care man You're gonna start to think like who is his real competition I got a short list of players that didn't make it and I'm taking Vucevich a season over these other players That didn't make it. Okay, Vucevich on the team next player Bam out of bio bam out of bio one of the better defenders in this league I was looking at some advanced statistics. They're a couple advanced statistic Twitter accounts that I follow and and I always been a guy that likes advanced statistics But it also is a way how do I say this? I don't like the people that have advanced statistics and that is their only argument for NBA anything They're not using the eye test. It is just analytics, but I also hate the people that only use the high test They got they got to be a split there. I ain't saying it's 50-50. Maybe it's 65% I and 35% analytics There has to be a combination of the two and then I'm gonna buy your passes all these so one of the advanced Stats that I saw and it was ranking extra. I could just show you the stat What am I acting like I'm not on this crazy PC for don't even need a crazy PC to look at stats on the internet What am I talking about? So here it is only 10 players in the 2021-2022 centers are in the top 20% of our playmaking talent metric Don't ask me how they get these stats is B ball index Yolk is just number one which makes sense the advanced stats say it and with the eye test say that the Yolk It's just the best passing center in the entire NBA then all getting A's is Joel and B Carl Anthony Towns Bama the bio the money be a little out print sin goon and then some bonus and then you got some A minuses here But bam according to this ranking is the fourth best playmaking center in the entire NBA and that checks out is the eye test Defense is still Lee at it seemed like every single night Somebody puts up a new stat line talking about how Bama the bio has been holding this defenders to 38% around whatever All of that checks out only that my big complaint about Bama the bio and I've set this for a few seasons now I wish he's shocked the ball more I can't complain because they're they're the number one team in Easter Calfers They find a way to win but regardless but I just feel like a van was slightly more aggressive man People will be talking about being like they talked about some of the other centers across the league He is another all-star and actually while we're here I know people are upset that this is a different also listen not the kidney for all stars You know what? I was trying to put together a video of the kidney for all stars and what I found out is there's not 24 candy for all stars It's not so I could get you on my 15th candy for all stars if you want me to but it's not 24 I feel like I'll be watering down my pot if I was just adding players just because I needed to reach a number You feel me so maybe we'll make that video another day. Let's get to my next now Those are the players that in my mind 100% deserve to be here after that it can be a little bit if you number one player After Bama the bio, I'm just gonna pair them together because their teammates it is Tyler hero Tyler hero has taken the next step that I believe that a lot of NBA fans thought that he needed to take for the Miami He too hit that next step because last season definitely was a big regression for him Especially we consider in the bubble that people are calling him a lot of different nicknames or revolving around him being just elite And he was elite in that bubble But then he came back to the next season and he wasn't bad by any means but he didn't hadn't hit that next step that they needed Him to take and this season he has done that and since he's done that He's made this team a lot more more difficult to guard because they do so many different things He's made this team so much more valuable once playoff time comes around if they can get the bubble of the bubble version of Tyler hero because he's playing similar to that every single night He's averaging over 20 points per game off the bench He might be the winner of six man of the year so far But like Kevin Love has to say about that as a mother players, but he's in the conversations and he's been very very elite He's been one of the very easy steady guys of this entire season for them Let's get to some spiciness the only rookie To make my second tier all-stars and this is going to grab some gears because y'all be going crazy Over this whole rookie ladder thing for some reason the only rookie to make my second tier all-star list was Evan Mobley I don't and I'm not just saying this because I'm living in the moment But I don't think I've ever seen a rookie in my own personal viewing experience I didn't get to see rookie Tim Duncan. I wasn't watching basketball back then But I don't think I've ever seen a rookie be so good on the defensive side of the ball every time I watch Evan Mobley even if he's putting up six points or he's putting up a 20 piece I'm amazed on just one of the things that he ends up doing in that You know he was a better playmaker than I ever anticipated him to be on that short role as a rookie And it just feels like he can guard all five positions now I don't want to say he's there just yet because there's a very select few players in the NBA that legitimately can guard all five positions But I see it, you know, I see in the very early stages of his career He was guard and trade y'all for a couple possessions and out of the three possessions I remember he got to stop two of the times You know I'm saying some of the best perimeter defenders in the league struggled to get two of the three stops or try young And Evan Mobley was doing those things and I think that right now I would say he's hit the rookie wall, but he hasn't been as incredible as of recently than earlier in the season But he's still in this list because again once we get towards the bottom of this It's kind of weird you feel me is a it ain't always Sunshine and roses at the bottom of this list So if you've been counting those are nine different players that we've talked about the last three we're super hard and And the people that didn't make the cut Julius Randall not having an amazing season recently Evan playing really good and then today they blew a crazy lead to the to to the Portland Trailblazers And he was he has some good counting stats But he wasn't very good and I watched him live and San Francisco the Warriors game And he had an amazing amazing game and every time I watch him and he's not doing that like he was last year I'm like, what are you doing, bro? Those turnaround contested mid-range jump shots ain't falling and in the Warriors game He was getting to the basket drawing fouls and finishing. Why don't we just do that? More more often than the turnaround so he didn't make the cut RJ Barrett did not make the cut you hear me racing off the list did not make the cut Tyree spent the majority of his season obviously in the Western Conference He did not make the cut even though he was very very close the last three people to make it in all right Let's let's have this conversation the last three people to make it in Gary Trent Jr Tyrese Maxie Ricky Rubio fight me. This is my list. I know Ricky Rubio has missed like a month of basketball at this point Ricky Rubio is on my list fight me. It's my list Gary Trent Jr. If I'm not mistaken is still leading the league and steals per game There is an amazing article that saw my timeline and it's unfortunate because I didn't get the author And you know what let me give credit where it's due I will spend the next 20 minutes of after finding this article that I read while I was on my way from my Uber to my hotel Hold on. I'm so upset. I'm sitting here scrolling to find this tweet from like oh Man, what am I doing here legit? What am I? What day is this? Yes, yes Yes, that's what you to use Twitter for Twitter can fight it for you. Yes Okay, we got it. We got it. Thank you to everybody on Twitter. I appreciate you I needed to give my credit where it was due So the name of the article is Gary Trent is the world's best grenadier Grenadier you decide how you want to pronounce it and it's by Samson folk I'll put it in the description if I remember if not search this up Samson did an amazing job Even over this absurd stretch where he's averaging 28 points per game He takes less touches than everyone else in the Raptors starting lineup less than Scotty Barnes less the Odeon and Obi and his points per touch doubles everyone except for Odeon and Obi dog This this mofo right here When he gets the ball, he knows what to do with the dog. So he is a he is an all-star secretary all-star anyway So we got Gary Trent jr. Taris maxi in my mind Until the James Hardy trade has been the second best player for the Joel and B. Bled Philadelphia 76 is closed out games He's electric He's super fun to watch and those are the things that can get you on his list and then lastly Ricky Rubio I don't need to explain. I've been on the Ricky Rubio fan page for the entire season Yes, he cut out some people that might deserve to be here. I literally do not care Let's talk about the Western Conference man because we have 12 people here and and this is a bit weird So my locks these are my locks Anthony Davis missing time regardless Anthony Davis has been really good this season I know that maybe less than expectations because the three-point shooting hasn't been there or just as long tools Haven't been there but defensively he's been better than he has been in the previous season and overall I just think that his game has maybe been overshadowed because the team has been so bad next Player on the locks for the Western Conference Anthony Edwards on the only thing that's holding Anthony ever is back in his sophomore season Remember is this sophomore season bros only 20 years old which is scary to even think about is that he'll have a game We had 35 and the next game he'll have seven You know we'll have seven and it's a perfect sentence is not very good But he takes a ton of them so he makes a ton of them is a very rare spot But Anthony ever to be talking about players that like me to be mic'd up all the time give Anthony Everett's that thing 100% of the time. He is a tier two all-star my book I mean a bro ordered McDonald's after a game. I guess that was his cheat meal or maybe bros is he like that Remember he's 20 years old when I was 20 years old I could eat anything I want and not feel any consequences and now I'm 25 years old and I have one meal out of the ordinary And it tears me up. You feel me? I used to eat legit I used to eat like flaming hot non-stop just hot chips hot things in general I will make the 20 cent noodles and go crazy with the Louisiana's in there and I can't do that I can't even touch spicy food at the age of 25 I can't I can't even do it no more. So he needs to fix things by before he's my age and he can't go back next place Jeron Jackson junior man I've been seeing a lot of players and people and Memphis Grizzly Twitter and even the Memphis Grizzly players in themselves like job Arendt pushing for Jeron Jackson you to be a defensive player near conversations and though he has been amazing defensively I just don't think he's there just yet But the office starting to come around a little bit more to when they had the injuries going on with their team And he was slotted into that five position I saw the vision bro And it made me super excited Because if he can be the center of your team and not be in foul trouble and defend the way he does the ceiling of that team It's kind of crazy man The ceiling of that team is very very crazy The little slingshot jump shot of the baby jump shot that they always say it be falling and when it's falling There's not a lot of people that's better at that point next to our package deal They're there on the best team in the league and they already got two all-stars on this team But two more those starters as there are some love and that's McKell Bridges Even though McKell Bridges averaging like what 14 points per game in the season He's still having the elite level defense. He's still all defensive first team in my opinion Well, I need to go back and think about but he is a player that is in Conversations as first team all defense on the wings position those four positions and he also can get you buckets and right now currently He's on a pretty good streak. So yeah, this month so far. They've played two four six seven games They've only lost one of them McKell Bridges averaging 20 points per game, right and same when you think about McKell Bridges You'd be like, oh, he's a 3 and D guy He not getting it from the three-point line y'all bros running the transition. He's low-key sometimes creating his own size Cut him back door. He's shooting only 33% from three in the month and he's averaging a dub He's evolving this game to be no more than the three indeed do I do want him to get that three-point percentage up though McKell, let's come on. Come on We do still need you to hit threes, you know me, but he's been incredible this season a Deandre Aiden His case is getting a little bit worse and worse He's just had that very very dominant game against the box was helps But like the fact that this may be a ball came to the team and looked amazing and the Jalen Smith look good and the menace He was given and then much of Vell McGee looks great as a backup center It hurts him just a little bit because Chris Paul does get the most out of his centers But when he is playing amazing that he is the absolute x factor for this entire organization And for them to get to that point where they want to win this championship It's obviously the aspirations. They need him to be great and when he is great There's not a lot of teams that can stop them when he's playing great next one is Brandon Ingram I thought he might be the replacement for dream on green if they were to give it to another Ford He's been really good this season very low key Brandon Ingram has been a very low key player for this his entire career But the fact that he played in LA for the first couple seasons made him not low key But he's just not a dude that talks a lot. He goes out there hoops and he goes home You know me and he's still out there hooping now This is where things get weird because the bonus is only played two games in the Western Conference But he's on the Western Conference team He would be on the Eastern Conference team if he was still in the Eastern Conference Even though he was not an all-star this season everybody recognized that's not the monster bonus is one of the best big men in the entire league and low key These two games have been really good It looks like him and dear Fox have been playing together way longer than two games Their two main game is way better than I expected it to be Which is a good sign for the Sacramento Kings for them to potentially make that push two game win streak and the fans have Quickly turned around from I hate this to like This ain't that bad, you know reset an amazing game in this first appearance with the Indiana Pacers But this ain't that bad. We're in a two game loser streak and I'm looking at it right now when it comes to the play-in They're only a game and a half out the unfortunate part is that the Trailblazers won two games against I think the Lakers and then then the Knicks so so they still keeping the flow and then Season McCullum and the Pelicans haven't won since the trade I'm sure they're gonna figure that out and win a little bit more and the Spurs are still in conversations But the fact that you are in a two-game winning streak and you look good Jelling now you haven't played elite level competition just yet, but it has looked good the defense It's just a bit of rejuvenation now having all these new guys into the locker room You can definitely tell that so some bonuses in there And you know what similarly similarly to what I said about Nicola Woosevitz I'm putting the air fox here to the air fox is not had in the maze this season by any means But recently he's been looking really good since he came back from the injury and since they traded Tyrese Helleberg you get in the version of the air fox we got last season that was average of 25 points per game So the fact that he's had a lot of ups and downs in the season and currently he is on the up I'm putting them on my list fight me if you want. Well, don't actually don't fight me Don't do that. I'm not really into that type of thing shake you just Alexander might not be having the same Efficiency season, but let me go look at the stats 23 points per game five and a half assists five rebounds I do round up for these boys, but yeah, he fish he hasn't been there, right? He's been a career thirty five percent three-point shooter this year. He's shooting 28 percent He's been a career 46 percent from the field guy and this year. He's shooting 42 percent I'm not really worried about that when it comes to shaking us Alexander because eventually when we get to You know, okay see being good in 12 years. I have a lot. It's gonna take them to be good He's not gonna have to do all the things that he does He is still one of the elite getting to the basket guys in the entire league Now he has to settle for creating his own shot a hundred percent of the time It seems like right now Josh giddy does alleviate some pain a little bit But he's a guy that has to create for a self majority of the time and once they get to the point where giddy is better Or whoever they draft one of the seven draft picks they get this season becomes good And he's not relied to be the focal point of the only doing the offense I'm expecting him to be better when it comes to his efficiency and even though his efficiency is down He still has moments this season and I think moments go a long way You know I'm saying I can think of off the top just clutch moments of this season for Shagyo's Alexander And I think that you know that has to to mean something. All right now We're down to our last three spots and this is where things get a bit weird Because there's no like locks and I'm gonna go ahead show some love to to one of the more underrated Centers in the entire league actually was to fight it for this spot It was Jonas Valetunis who at one point was leading the league with 50% from the three-point line It's not there anymore And the guy that I gave it to the guy that I gave it to Yaka Purtle people say it rhymes with turtle. So it's Purtle One of the most underrated players in the entire league, bro It's legitimate and when there was rumors that the Chicago Bulls were in conversations to maybe get Yaka Purtle I was like give me that you feel me I would love to roof for Yaka Purtle But instead they decided to keep him which is probably the best thing if nobody's give you the value that you expect to get For him because he is such a guy that even though he's not a dude that's jumping 12 feet in the air to get blocks He he is a good paint protector. I be saying this on the channel all the time There's a difference between a rim protector. Those are the dudes That's like getting hella blocks those are the the Jaren Jackson juniors Those are the Hassan white side in his prime and then the paint protectors Those are the Al Horford's or the guys that positionally just do a great job protecting the paint and Yaka Purtle is in that case as well bro don't hit free throws and he doesn't score a ton But I think his defense is super undervalued in the NBA and he deserves to be on this list He's he's a Kenny for all star and he's a second tier all star in my mind and these last two spots I won't spend too much time on because I was like I said scraping the end of the barrel the bottom of the barrel Trying to find these guys is my colleague who though his accounting stats haven't been amazing this season He's just always a connector when I think about the elite level connectors in the entire league My colleague is up there. So I'll put them on this list and then lastly it is Jaylon Bronson And Jaylon Bronson made the last part of this list and there are a couple people fighting for this If you guys know Russell was fighting for this one first Sure, there's no Russell having a better defensive season than he's ever had his NBA career There Desmond Bain was also fighting for this very last spot But I gave it to Jaylon Bronson and those are my tier two all-stars Ain't none of it even matters you might disagree that's completely okay Let me know in the comment section your favorites or your your most snubbed out of the top 48 at this point I'll be in the comment section and the more I think about it the more I'm thinking that I'm forgetting like one like super elite guy It is what it is. I already spent 46 minutes recording this video. So I'm out
