NBA Tickets - Eastern Conference All-Star Reserves By Morgan Dunn At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Fans at http://www.stubhub.com/nba-tickets buy NBA tickets to see the kind of talented players that make the All-Star team. Here are the seven players I would pick as reserves for the Eastern Conference squad. (Note: All statistics are as of January 28th.)

Chris Bosh, Toronto Raptors: I thought Bosh should have been selected as a starter over Kevin Garnett. Bosh could be the best power forward in the league right now, though his playing in Canada hurts him in terms of exposure. The Raptors star is averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds per game while shooting good percentages. He’s a great free throw shooter, uncommon for a big man, and has significant range on his jump shot. He deserves at least a reserve role.

Danny Granger, Indiana Pacers: Grangers is probably the most underrated player in the entire league. He’s posting incredible numbers, among them a 26 points per game scoring average, and is carrying his team night in and night out. He had a really good season last year, which went largely unnoticed, but he’s starting to get his due a little. In my book, a players’ team’s record does not factor into the All-Star selection process.

Joe Johnson, Atlanta Hawks: Johnson has fallen off a bit as of late, but this guy has not gotten the credit he’s been due since joining the Hawks and becoming their leader. He does everything well and can play three positions on the floor. He’s also a much underrated player.

Devin Harris, New Jersey Nets: This has been Harris’ breakout season. His jump shot has gotten much better, especially from three, making his lightning-quick first step eve more dangerous than it already was. He’s taken on a leadership role on a young New Jersey squad and has been doing a little bit of everything. His overall numbers alone warrant a selection.

Jameer Nelson, Orlando Magic: Nelson has really taken the next step in his development this season. Before this season began, I was thinking that perhaps he wasn’t cut out for a starting gig in the NBA. Boy, did he prove me wrong. Nelson has been on a tear this season. He’s shooting a fantastic percentage from the floor, from the line and from behind the arc. Nelson isn’t a pure passer, but he helps his team in a lot of ways. People have taken notice of his play this season and I think he’ll get the nod.

Vince Carter, New Jersey Nets: I bet most people thought they’d never hear Vince Carter’s name in the All-Star conversation again, but he’s having a really good season. It’s apparent that he’s giving full effort now and it’s paying dividends. His averages of 21 points, five assists and five rebounds are really impressive and should earn him a spot on the team.
Mo Williams, Cleveland Cavaliers: Williams has pushed the Cavaliers to a whole new level. He’s the sidekick that LeBron James has always needed. He can handle the ball, distribute, create his own shot and shoot the rock very well. The addition of Williams is flying under the radar a bit too much if you ask me.
