There's no single, definitive way to pick or react to All-Stars. But if you sort every qualified player in the league by the average of their ranks in the most readily available catch-all metrics, Towns, Randle, Brown, Adebayo and Banchero are all outside the top 30.
Among players who weren't named as All-Stars on Thursday, there are 11 across the league who are in the top 30: Domantas Sabonis, Lauri Markkanen, James Harden, Alperen Şengün, Chet Holmgren, Trae Young, Scottie Barnes, Kristaps Porziņģis, Victor Wembanyama, Kyrie Irving and De'Aaron Fox.
With that exercise, other individual numbers, team success and subjectivity as our guides, we'll look at this year's biggest snubs.
Arguing for one player's inclusion obviously implies that someone else shouldn't be. That's just the nature of this debate. But it's worth mentioning that every player who was actually named to the team, at the very least, has a case.
