In case you missed it; Suns’ guard Devin Booker was surprisingly absent from the NBA’s top-10 guards in early All-Star fan voting.

While the initial voting results may reflect only the early stages of fan participation and contribute only 50% to the overall consideration for All-Star selection, the fact that Booker trails behind guards like Ja Morant, who has played only 8 games, and Austin Reaves, averaging just 15 points per game, raises eyebrows regarding the idea of fan voting.
Suns’ Chimezie Metu, during a Thursday practice, voiced his frustration, stating, “Yeah I saw that, it’s ridiculous.”
Metu then followed this up with, “We all know he is going to be in the game, so, it doesn’t really matter.”

If Devin were to receive enough votes to head to the All-Star game in Indianapolis, it would be his 4th.
