With every NBA season comes a slew of players who believe they should’ve made the All-Star Game, and coaches who echo those sentiments. On Saturday, Suns coach Monty Williams added to this year’s discourse with a strong statement about Devin Booker.
Williams shared his thoughts about Booker, who’s missed the last 21 games with a groin strain, being left off this year’s All-Star team prior to the Suns’ road game against the Pistons. Needless to say, Williams made it a point to emphasize how unbelievable he thought it was that his star guard didn’t make the cut.
“He’s the best two-guard in the league. Makes no sense he’s not playing in the game. Facts,” Williams said, via Duane Rankin of Arizona Republic. The veteran coach also labeled Booker’s All-Star omission as “a joke,” per Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports.
