Goran Dragic can't wrap his head around yet another All-Star snub, failing to make the cut one more time, despite his team sitting in a comfortable fourth spot in the East.

“I don’t understand this anymore because back in the day with the Suns, I had the statistics and they said our record is not good,” said a frustrated Dragic, according to Anthony Chiang of The Palm Beach Post. “This year we have a good record, and it’s not [enough]. So it is what it is.”

The 31-year-old had a spectacular season in 2013-14, his second with the Suns, with averages of 20.3 points and 5.9 assists per game, shooting 50 percent from the field and 41 percent from deep.

He had a nearly-identical season in 2016-17, an 11-30 start to the season prevented his name from floating around All-Star conversations.

This season, Dragic is putting up 17.3, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.9 assists while leading his team to a 27-20 record without backcourt mate Dion Waiters, yet his name was once again out of consideration while the likes of Kristaps Porzingis, who is out of the playoff bubble, made it comfortably in the East.

This system can be incredibly frustrating to figure out, as picking the most deserving players can be a tough task and pleasing those selected and not selected, an impossible one.

Perhaps the most puzzling bit is that for the first time in 25 years, the NBA failed to select an All-Star from a team that had been in the top four of their conference.
