NBA All-Star Game 2020: Predicting the snubs from the Eastern Conference

#2 Malcolm Brogdon

Brogdon played his first three seasons with the Bucks.

The Indiana Pacers have been managing just fine without their star, Victor Oladipo. Their newest addition in Malcolm Brogdon has proven to be an all-round package, as he averages a career-high 18.3 points and 7.6 assists per game.

Across the 26 games played so far, the 27-year-old point guard has been shooting 46% from the field and making over 93% of his free-throws with surgical precision. As the Pacers rank sixth in the Eastern Conference behind a 21-12 (0.636) record, it is highly unlikely that the team might accomodate two All-Stars this year.

Chances of Brogdon missing out on All-Star glory are excacerbated by Domantas Sabonis' dominant showing so far. Although for the greater good, but their collective package might not be able to appear on All-Star weekend as a couple. Moreover, the abundance of elite level players in the Eastern Conference does not allow the presence of two sub-20 ppg individuals from the same squad.
