An idea to replace All-Star Games

Spotted this on r/NBA but it could potentially also work in the NBL one day.

4 teams of 8-10 players, drafted from a 32-40 player pool. If teams have only 8-9 players each, probably more ideal to have the game be 4 quarters of 10 minutes each.

Players drafted onto each team in an ABCDDCBA format by Chuck, Shaq, Kenny, and Chris Webber, similar to how the Rising Stars game is drafted by Chuck and Shaq

Fans vote in 10 players (4 guards, 6 frontcourt players) that must be drafted
The remaining 22-30 players in the pool are selected by leaguewide coach voting. Similar to what is already done for the current ASG reserve spots, except they aren't limited to voting within their conference. Maybe you could also leave 4 spots in the pool open so that the drafters could select anyone they want that isn't in the pool.

During one of the first few days of ASB, have semifinal matchups: A vs. D, B vs. C

Cap off the last day of ASB with the winners of those two matches playing against each other for the AllStar Tournament Title
It's effectively a mini-draft and league. It'd be interesting to see how coaches or pundits drafted a team to maximise their chance at winning.

NBL need to come up with something outside the square as the ASG doesn't work well with the athletes we have.

NBA is fine but interesting how they are always looking in ways to improve the event.

I think the ASG has worked OK with NBL players. It's the dunk comp and three point shoot out which have been less impressive.

I love the NBL im a season ticket holder, BUT I just dont see the talent pool to be bothered with an All Star game until there are more teams. And even then, keep it simple go back to the old days when it was the Aussies versus the Imports (basically the USA). Remeber an awesome game from Canberra.
