If it's not because he's injured, then maybe this is why:

Maher's averaging 19/4/5 for a team that is out of the eight. All bar Ingles and Tragardh are with teams with better records which could be a factor. Not sure which criteria they use.

Ingles is averaging 16/7/6 which you could argue is a bit better than 19/4/5. Tragardh is averaging 18 and 8, though might be in there as a reserve big man?

Who picked the teams?

I've never understood why a players teams record has anything to do with how good or valuable a player is. It's THE PLAYER we're talking about here, right? I remember handle telling me in a letter that they weren't going to feature a certain player until his team started getting some more wins. Stupid.

Only guessing at their selection methodology based on the names in the team - could be wrong re ladder position.

That said, remember that they pick the ASG coaches based on ladder position!

Gaze, Carfino and Bradtke picked the teams. Dave Barlow in the team averaging 16/5/1 haha yer good one.

and i agree, team success should have nothing to do with individual honours. that said, Kobe should have 2 MVP's and Carlos Powell should have 1 then lol.

X, Barlow is putting up those numbers on a damn good team though. And I think his perfect game probably came into consideration aswell.

And he and Ingles are a bit more "showtime" than Maher too. Remember last year and Ronaldson in the ASG? That was a bit plain.

I think the selectors keep in mind the players' ability to entertain more than anything! Lets face it... thats what all-star games are about.

If there are two people up for the same spot in the team with similar performances thus far in the season (Eg. Maher vs Ingles/Barlow)..... the person who has the ability to throw down a dunk or do something athletically spectacular will (and rightly so i guess) be selected.

Brett Maher has always been one of my favourite players... He is a true champion and his record shows! But right now, i'd rather watch the likes of Ingles or Barlow etc..... more exciting!
