NBA All-Star Game 2019: All-Star caliber Guards, Part 1

#4 Mike Conley Jr

Unofficially recognized in basketball circles as the best NBA player never to be named to an All Star lineup, Mike Conley Jr has been carrying the Memphis Grizzlies to postseason success over the majority of his career - now in its 13th season.

Eyebrows were raised when the front office offered and Conley accepted a 5-year, $153 million contract, but the 6'1" point guard has now matured into a fine half-court playmaker. Alongside the likes of Marc Gasol and rookie Jaren Jackson Jr, Conley has some interesting options for pick-and-pop or pick-and-roll situations given the duo's all-around offensive ability.

If only the Grizzlies could snag a top-4 seed, their stars would get more recognition for their stellar efforts. As things stand, they're the 11th seed today and look unlikely to get to a playoff spot by the end of this month, so Conley will go snubbed once again.
