5 NBA players who could make their All-Star Game debut in 2020

#4 Devin Booker - Phoenix Suns

Devin Booker is leading the Suns' playoff charge

Coming into the season, Phoenix was expected to be among the worst teams in the NBA, although the Suns have performed better than expected and are still in contention to secure one of the final playoff spots in the West. The likes of Aron Baynes and Kelly Oubre Jr. have been impressive, although much of Phoenix's success is owed to the form of Devin Booker.

Booker has consistently put up big scoring numbers during his first four years in the league, although the 23-year-old's all-around game is much improved this season as he attempts to guide the Suns to a first playoff appearance since 2010.

So far this season, Booker is averaging 25.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game - and his three-point shooting has improved to 40.6%. Like Mitchell, Booker faces plenty of competition due to the backcourt depth in the West, although if the Suns are still in contention come February, Booker may have done enough to secure a spot.

#3 Jayson Tatum - Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum has taken on a bigger role following the departure of Kyrie Irving

After being named to the 2018 NBA All-Rookie First Team, Jayson Tatum's sophomore season was considered a disappointment as he struggled to play alongside Kyrie Irving. However, following Irving's departure during the offseason, Tatum has quickly re-established himself as one of the best young players in the NBA.

Over 24 appearances this season, Tatum is averaging 20.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.4 steals per game - and the 21-year-old also led the Celtics while Gordon Hayward and Kemba Walker have been sidelined. Admittedly, Tatum would still find it difficult to break into the West All-Star roster, although playing on a winning Boston team in the East will help his case, and he should sneak in if he continues to perform over the next six weeks.
