Commentators on the show suggested that the Celtics could try to compete for five All-Star spots this year. The Boston Club’s social media team is also actively pushing such a narrative.
It’s clear that Jayson Tatum, who will also likely be a starter, is almost guaranteed a spot in the annual All-Star meeting. The same goes for Jaylen Brown. While he likely won’t compete for a starting spot since he’s one of the starters this year, there shouldn’t be any doubt about Brown’s participation in the All-Star Game either.
Jrue Holiday has the lowest All-Star chance among the top five Celtics. According to observers, Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis have every chance of getting there. Especially for a Latvian basketball player.
“KP was in the All-Star Game, so his name is not unknown in that context. Porzingis is coming off the best season of his career, but he’s having an even better season this year. He is the NBA leader in points per possession. “He’s hitting the basket at the best rate of his career this year, as well as the best 2-point shooting rate of his career,” D’Amico said
On the other hand, Forsberg highlighted Porzingis’ contribution to the current NBA leaders “Celtics”.
“He gave the Celtics a dimension they didn’t have before. I think he deserves to be rewarded for that. Offensively, he took the Celtics to the next level. The defense is still great,” Forsberg said.
Nine times in NBA history a team has had four representatives in the All-Star Game. The last time something like this happened was in 2018, when the Golden State Warriors were represented by Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant.
In 2018, Porzingis also earned a spot in the All-Star Game, but was unable to play in the game due to an ACL injury.
