IT / Hayward / Horford. Obvious question mark is horford. As his box scores don't show a lot of his production but hope he makes it.

It was pretty cool that one year we had the big 4 and coaching squad in the all star game

I think without injuries IT and Hayward are guaranteed. Horford is if he continues his play from the playoffs as there isn't a lot of talent left in the east...

And that year was really painful as we got destroyed by miami in 5. Was pretty cool to see the big 4 booed in LA, Doc was such a troll.

the big 4

Do you really think this is a thing?   I don't.   I think it cheapens our past big threes to compare the so called big four to them.   They are not quite in the same league as I see it.

They were the big 4 that year. Rondo had a great year. We had no bench!!!

I would guess just Thomas and Hayward (assuming relatively similar level of play and games as prior years). I don't think Horford is an all star, even in the weaker Eastern Conference. 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

I would say at least one... possibly three

IT won't be averaging 28pts with another legitimate go-to scorer on-board. I actually also expect a scoring increase from Horford this year as perimeter defenses tighten leaving several post plays open. So a nod for Horford, Hayward and IT is possible.

On that note it is also possible for several players at the guard positions to have better statistical years than those on our team and as such get All-Star nods over them. Players like Lowry, DeRozan, Giannis, John Wall, Ben Simmons, Brogdon, Kyrie?, Kemba, etc.

The unfortunate truth is that having a balanced team, is the worst thing for individual honours such as an All-star nod.

I love how IT is guaranteed, yet Kyrie is better to so many.  That man is a legend beyond his spectacular play... His own fans can't even understand how he's so good.
