Jamal Murray was pretty widely seen as the best active player to have never been an All-Star. Now that he’s finally accomplished this feat, who takes the reins on this achievement next?

Who are some of the up and coming guys that are likely a year or two away, and who are some of the old guys past their prime who likely won’t make it barring a second wind/resurgence?

Per EPM EW, Derrick White was the biggest snub this year. (Kawhi and Harden also snubs per this metric for those curious).

jackdonsurfer | Raptors

White’s one of those guys who’s definitely good enough to be an all-star but idk if he’ll ever have the box score numbers to convince voters. I’d take him over most of the east reserves pretty easily

Derrick white is SOOOOO overrated he’s a system player. He was good with the Spurs under Pop and now he was good with Celtics cause of the coaching staff and elite talent the team has. This year he’s dookie cuz the talent allowing him to pop off is gone and they defend him way tougher.

Derrick White’s impact goes far beyond the box score and his box score is still really solid. If he had just managed to score like 3-4 more ppg over the last few seasons, he likely would have made it once or twice.

His plus/minus this year - like every year - is off the charts

Flagg was terrible the first 2ish month of the year .. probably should have been Reaves if he didn’t get injured

MixMastaPJ | Jazz

Flagg obv shouldn’t have made it, it’s more of a literal answer to OP’s question though. Most people in here are just listing guys who are a step below all-star level or maybe have had seasons in the past where they were snubbed.

Flagg is better than all these snubs here, and I’d be shocked if he doesn’t make it next season.

If Khris Middleton can be a multi-time All-Star, why can’t Desmond Bane be one too?

Bane’s last 246 games (3 full seasons worth of games) - 32.41 mpg, 20.51 ppg, 5.00 rpg, 4.69 apg, .594 TS% (.471/.398/.897 shooting splits).
