The 2022-23 NBA season is rapidly approaching its halfway point, and that means it's time for fans to start having All-Star discussions.
There are always certain players who will be considered locks to land on an All-Star roster, but considering the amount of talent throughout the league, there should also be plenty of debates.
Which guards will emerge from the Western Conference? Which forwards will get the starting nods in the Eastern Conference?

How does the NBA All-Star voting process work?
The fan vote accounts for 50 percent of the total vote to determine the starters for the NBA All-Star Game. Current players and media members split the other 50 percent. Each ballot consists of two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference. Reserves are chosen by NBA head coaches, and league commissioner Adam Silver chooses injury replacements if necessary.
All-Star captains will then draft their teams from the eligible pool of players (starters in first round, reserves in second round). Captains will be selected based on which players earn the most fan votes in each conference. They are not required to draft based on conference affiliation or position.
How do you vote for the 2023 NBA All-Star starters?
