All-Star reserves will be picked before starters in the upcoming All-Star draft to avoid the stigma associated with being picked last.
– There are more changes in store for the NBA All-Star team selection process.
Unlike in years past when the All-Star team captains drafted their rosters on a television simulcast from their respective cities weeks before the All-Star Game, this year’s draft will be conducted live on stage at Vivint Arena approximately 90 minutes to half an hour before tipoff Sunday, a league spokesman told ESPN.
