Joel Embiid is an All-Star Snub
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
The eastern conference announced the all star game reserves tonight. Philadelphia 76ers forward Joel Embiid, wasn't one of them. John Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap, Kevin Love, Paul George, and Kemba Walker were named to the all star team.
Embiid should replace either Kyle Lowry or Paul Millsap in the game. Embiid is the reason why the Philadelphia 76ers are some what relevant this season. He is averaging 19.8 PPG 7.9 RPG and 2.5 BPG. Millsap's stats are similar with 18.0 PPG 8.1 RPG and 1.0 BPG.
Lowry has also been very inconsistent despite averaging 22.4 PPG. Thomas, Wall, and Walker are all better point guards than Lowry. So that is who Embiid should replace for the eastern conference reserves.
