We know the player pool. We know the captains. All that's left is for the teams to be selected.
The NBA All-Star Draft is back — only this year's version has a twist. Whereas the previous drafts were held days before the actual All-Star Game, the 2023 NBA All-Star Draft will be held right before Sunday's main event.
That's right — get ready for LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo to pick their teams like they're on the playground.

What is the NBA All-Star Draft format?
James (West) and Antetokounmpo (East) will serve as captains after they received the most fan votes in each conference.
Since he was the leading vote-getter overall, James will pick first in the 2023 NBA All-Star Draft, but the order in which the captains pick will change this year.
James and Antetokounmpo will then take turns drafting from the pool of reserves first before moving on to the starters.
James and Antetokounmpo don't have to select players in their own conference.
