Washington Post picks the Bonus for ASG
6. Domantas Sabonis, Indiana Pacers Sabonis places higher on this list than some might expect because the East’s crop of frontcourt talent is relatively thin outside projected starters Antetokounmpo, Siakam and Joel Embiid. The Pacers should receive at least one representative given their steady start without Oladipo, and Sabonis’s averages of 18.4 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game make him an excellent candidate. Indiana guard Malcolm Brogdon also deserves mention, but he could feel the squeeze in the East’s backcourt. As a footnote: Sabonis’s father, Arvydas, the Lithuanian legend, is one of the greatest basketball players to never make an NBA All-Star Game because of his late-career arrival from overseas.
