Those stats wouldn’t work, because it doesn’t account for mins played. So you could have a player, who doesn’t play a lot of mins, have high stats, and clearly isn’t an allStar.

The better stat would be PER. There is no stat greater to determine a great player.
Go off of PER, and it’s based on players who play at least 25-30 mins a game. A fair way of picking, because you’re picking players who are tops on both sides of the ball, and it cancels out players who have good PERs but play less the 25-30 mins a game.

The list will give you similar to the allStars you have now.

1-15 is Giannis to Jimmy Butler

So after the fan votes, which is what the all star game is about , and fans should always be allowed to vote, the other selection should be a pool based on PER and coaches and writers.
