Mock Draft for the 2018 All-Star Game
The All-Star weekend is still roughly under a month away but it's in the news as the complete rosters were announced with the reserves being made official this past Tuesday. Prior to this season, the Players' Union and the NBA had come to an agreement on the All-Star format needing change.
Instead, a player pool of 10 called the Starters was voted upon by the fans, players and media and the All-Stars were chosen from these players based on the weight. The player with the most votes in each conference becomes the captain of the two All-Star teams. The Reserves will be selected by the league's coaches.
LeBron James and Stephen Curry are the 2 opposing captains since they finished with the highest votes. They now get to choose players from the Starters and then the Reserves and make their own All-Star team. There are no restrictions on East or West anymore. Just the 24 best players going against each other.
Since James has the most votes, he gets to choose the first player from the starters pool and Curry gets to choose the first player in the reserves pool.
Here is a mock draft of how it might all go down:
