The Phoenix Suns are steamrolling the NBA once again. They became the first team to win 30 games this season due to their elite offense and even better defense. It's not a matter of if, but who on Phoenix's roster gets named an All-Star.
Devin Booker has been doing his part by voting for his teammates. He got a sizable vote himself from his girlfriend, Kendall Jenner. Tweets with a player's name written in hashtag form alongside the hashtag “NBAAllStar” count as votes, as do retweets. Receiving an All-Star vote via a tweet from someone with over 30 million Twitter followers is a big boost for the Suns' star.

Booker's stats are impressive — a team-leading 23.5 points to go along with 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists — but not as gaudy as they have been in years past. His fifth-place finish among Western Conference guards in the first returns from 2022 All-Star fan voting suggests he won't be named an All-Star starter. Still, since he is leading the Suns in scoring and is one of their most important players, he will most likely find himself as an All-Star reserve.
Although Booker's scoring is the lowest it has been since the 2016-17 season, he is shooting a career-high 40.5 percent on 3-pointers and is playing the fewest minutes per game of his career since that season. His scoring is just around where it has always been per 36 minutes. Due to his marvelous scoring abilities and the Suns' success, Booker should see himself making his third straight All-Star game.
Phoenix sent Booker and Chris Paul to the All-Star game last year. They seem like the most plausible picks this year, too, though DeAndre Ayton is making a convincing case, as he is second on the team in scoring.
