US media: Booker s data are better than Curry, he lost to the best team, and the Warriors did not enter the playoffs last year

Curry and James joined hands to be selected for the All-A-Second Team. This season, James played 70 games, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1 steal and 0.6 blocks. It is difficult to define the specific position of James playing. He has played almost five positions from point guard to center, but he was selected for the Best Team. It is estimated that he is still a small forward position. This position should not be controversial. Judging from the small forwards in the league, James is still at the top five.

Curry has played 70 games this season, averaging 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%. In fact, Curry should be defined as a point guard, but it seems that historical data and various lineups put Curry in the point guard position. But it's okay, anyway, the number one and two are very blurry now.

defenders are still very competitive in the best team position. There are many good defenders in the league now, including Curry, Harden, Edwards, Alexander, Booker, and the injured Irving. There are also many in the east, including Brunson, Halliburton, Mitchell, Garland, Cunningham, Brown, and the injured Mitchell, etc.

Data media StatMuse compared Curry and Booker's data and said:

"Curry averaged 24.5 points and 6 assists per game this season, shooting 44.8%, and was selected for the best second team. Booker averaged 25.6 points and 7.1 assists per game this season, shooting 46.1%, missing the best team. I know many people talk about the record, saying that the Suns did not enter the playoffs, but the Warriors did not enter the playoffs last year, but they still entered the best team. "

The NBA's best team is based on voting and is voted by professional media composed of sports journalists and announcers from the United States and Canada.

The best team is determined according to the voting method and scoring method:

After each season's regular season, voters will select the first, second and third teams they consider the best of the season on their ballots. Each lineup consists of two defenders, two forwards and a center.

The first team players scored 5 points, the second team players scored 3 points, and the third team players scored 1 point. The team is selected based on the player's total score. If there is a split even situation, players who get more votes will be selected.

As for why Booker was not elected? Personally, I don’t think it has much to do with his data. If he replaces Curry into the Best Second Team, the fans will probably be furious, and they will feel it is unfair. After all, the media votes, Curry’s traffic and status are there. As for why he didn't make the playoffs last year, the reason is also clear, so there is no need to say more.

can only be said that in the position of defender, he is too competitive. Harden has been amazed in the regular season this year, and he has only been selected for a three-tier team. The Rockets ended the regular season with the second place in the West, and there was no one who entered the All-A-Series team. So, don’t talk about any data or ranking, it’s useless…

What do you think? Who is most regrettable that he didn't make it to the best team?
