The versatile guard is named to the Western Conference reserves; teammate Norman Powell is not despite averaging a team-best 24 points per game.

The NBA All-Star Game format will look different this season, but one thing is always the same. There is a debate to be had about which players deserve

Powell finished with 33 points (11-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and two blocks over 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 victory over the Bucks.
