The top 5 snubs from the 2022 NBA All-Star Teams: 4. Tyler Herro, Miami Heat

The Miami Heat have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season, yet they only have one All-Star – Jimmy Butler. The Chicago Bulls have two, the Brooklyn Nets have two, the Milwaukee Bucks have two, the Phoenix Suns have two, the Utah Jazz have two, and the Golden State Warriors have three.

While Butler has been great, it’s Tyler Herro who’s been the most consistent in terms of games played. He’s stepped up to lead this Heat team in a big way.

Herro is averaging 20.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists while shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from three-point land.

He’s still young, so he has plenty of time to rack up All-Star appearances, but there was a clear argument for him to be in the game this season.

The Charlotte Hornets have zero All-Stars in the game this season. They have been one of the most exciting teams in the league this year and are shaping up to be a playoff threat.

Charlotte is 28-24 on the season this year, which is good for eighth in the Eastern Conference. They most certainly deserve to have at least one All-Star.

Bridges is averaging 19.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists while shooting 48.6 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from behind the three-point arc.

The fourth-year forward might not be the top candidate on the Hornets that deserves to be on the team, but he should have had a chance regardless. More on that to come.
