James is not selected! US media predicts the 2026 All-Stars: the world team is too strong, Dooku leads the 16-man US team

On November 14th, as the NBA announced that it would start the All-Star Game format this season with the World Team against the United States Team, it also attracted the attention of many fans. This does seem to be more interesting, a bit like the Avengers formed by the World Team against the United States Team, and now the top stars in the league are mostly the World Team. Can the United States Team beat this situation? Recently, the American media CP predicted the All-Star lineup. Let’s take a look.

World Team

The eight members of the World Team are: Alexander, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Doncic and Wenban. These five are the same as I predicted before. It is certain that the five of them will be selected. After all, they are the league Except for Wen Ban, the other four of the new five players in the league are among the top five in the league. As far as Wen Ban's performance this season, he is also among the top ten in the league. With this lineup, facing the lineup that won the US men's basketball championship last year, I think they are worthy and even have advantages.

Maybe you don’t know the performance of these five players this season. Let’s take a look: Alexander averaged 32.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, Antetokounmpo averaged 33.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, Doncic averaged 34.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game, and Wenban Yama averaged 26.2 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.6 blocks per game. Jokic averaged 28.8 points, 13.1 rebounds, 10.9 assists and 1.8 steals per game. This season, he ranks first in the league in assists and rebounds. This is the data of a center!

In addition to these five, Avdija, Shen Jing and Gidi were selected. These three are similar to what I predicted before. I thought Markkanen could enter, but they chose Avdija. This is understandable, after all. Avdija averaged 26+6 per game this season and performed like a top star. Shen Jing was selected as an All-Star last season. This season he has become one of the first-line insiders in the league. Gidi averaged 21+ per game this season and is close to a triple-double. He is one of the best ball-handling cores in the league.

American Team

The American team has two teams. The specific distribution has not been said yet, so let’s talk about it together: Durant, Curry, Edwards, Cunningham, Mobley, others don’t know, at least these 5 I think are the most important players regardless of where they are. Every American team will be a starter. Durant is still one of the best scorers in the league, and his isolation ability is still very strong. Curry was criticized a lot against the Thunder recently, and he scored 44+4 against the Spurs. He is like this. The more he is scolded, the fiercer he is. He is still the strongest shooter in the league.

Edwards is the future of the US men's basketball team. He will become the new leader of the US men's basketball team after Zanduku retires in the future. He has unlimited firing rights. Huazi's current offensive arsenal is comprehensive enough. His offense has no dead ends. He has the opportunity to become the next historical shooting guard in the future. Cunningham has led the Pistons to first place in the Eastern Conference this season. Although his shooting efficiency this season is not good, he is one of the best ball-handling cores in the United States due to his ability to combine offense and passing.

Mobley was the DPOY last season. The biggest shortcoming of the United States now is that they have too few top insiders. Facing the ravages of Jokic and Antetokounmpo, Mobley may not be able to hold on. This is why I am not optimistic that the American team can beat the world team, but Mobley seems to be the strongest inside player they can come up with. Others may not be looked at. Or should they bring in the French-American center Embiid who was born in Africa?

The Emperor did not enter this list, and neither did James. It may be that the US media did not allow them to be included because of injuries. The remaining 11 people are: Maxey, Booker, Jaylen Brown, Brunson, Mitchell, Banchero, Randle, Duren, Powell, Reeves and Jaylen Johnson. Judging from their performance this season, these are indeed the ones with the best chances, but that's only looking at it now. As the season progresses, some people's data may decline, such as Jaylen Johnson and Reeves.

So of this 11-man roster, I think at least 4-5 of them are uncertain. There are only a few strong players in the current US team. After Zanduku got old, they were a bit out of touch. Now Except for Huazi, none of the other players saw the potential to become phenomenal stars. Morant and Zion were both highly favored back then, but they failed to live up to expectations. One liked to show off his guns and the other liked to recuperate. Now he is at the level of an ordinary All-Star.

Powell's selection is probably the most uncomfortable thing for the Clippers. They gave up Powell and chose Beal. As a result, the team is playing poorly now. The Clippers have lost 6 games in a row and seem to have collapsed. If the record is terrible, their draft pick will be given to the Thunder. I think the Clippers should make some transactions now. Xiao Li has indeed performed well this season, but in the recent game against the Thunder, he probably lost his worth.

If Lao Zhan returns, based on his influence, I think it will be very exciting for him to eventually be selected as an All-Star. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current US men's basketball team? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
