It’s hard to believe Brown has played in only one All-Star Game.
Here’s a quick look at eight guards from the Eastern Conference that should figure prominently in the mix for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, listed alphabetically: Seven guards from each conference played in the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. The starting groups for both conferences feature two guards and three frontcourt players and the reserves are made up of two guards, three frontcourt players and two wildcard selections. So, naturally, it’s time to turn attention to the Eastern Conference, which added a couple of 2022 All-Star guards from the West in Donovan Mitchell and Dejounte Murray to an already deep pool that features a total of 17 All-Star nods between two players - James Harden and Kyrie Irving - that aren’t even locks to make this year’s squad.
We explored the tough decisions regarding the selection of Western Conference backcourt players looming later this month once the league officially opens voting for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.
Boston’s Jaylen Brown and Atlanta’s Dejounte Murray both figure to be in the mix for an East All-Star guard slot.
