Part 4/5:
Competitive Landscape in the West
The competitive nature of the Western Conference is evident in the tallies of the leading candidates. Luka Doncic had a challenging season, limited to just 22 games, which affected his placement in the All-Star race. However, the fight for the final frontcourt spots was highlighted by the significant push from Victor Wembanyama, who almost edged out Durant.
Fans and commentators acknowledge that there’s still more to come as they look forward to discussing possible reserve players. The anticipation continues to build as every player’s performance is scrutinized leading up to the official reserve announcements slated for next Thursday.
