So I managed to hustle in a one guy to be a back-up into the all-star game. I'm pretty surprised that I got him in (more surprised fans voted for any of my guys). Anyone else care to comment on how their team faired or the make-up of the AS game?

One time, my backup point guard was the only person to make the All-Star Team... I cut him at the end of the season. Another time I was in first place and didn't have single representative. The voting is crazy. But I have no objection to the choices it made this year.

And when you think about it, it'd be pretty crazy for the 2nd place team not to have anyone on the roster too... whenever a team does well, someone gets credited with being the "star" even if the effort is pretty even across the board.

I suppose so, it just seems that it would have been wiser for the voters to have selected a very *cough* Libertine heavy team. ;)

A few seasons ago, there were a number of selections I thought were odd. I compared the stats and found Points Per Game and Rating were the common stats for selecting the All-Stars. Point Guard seemed to weigh Assists heavier than any other stat. Power Forward and Center used Rebounding as the dominate stat, but even those positions had high PPG and Ratings.

This season's selection follows that theory, pretty well. If a player is a beast at Defense, Steals, Blocked Shots, etc., but doesn't put up a lot of points or has an average game performance Rating below 10, they're sitting this game out.

For some reason my point guard got into the game as my only player in... he's probably my worst starter, and his rating isn't very high either. He does score a lot, but also turns the ball over a ton. I know there were better point guards who were more deserving.
