Jalen Johnsons All-NBA Case: Despite the NBAs 65-game rule for post-season awards, Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnsons exceptional performance this season makes a strong case for his inclusion. Johnson, who has played enough games to qualify, averages nearly twenty-three points, over ten rebounds, and more than eight assists per game, shooting at a highly efficient clip. Hes one of just two players hitting those scoring, rebounding, and passing benchmarks, alongside Nikola Jokic, and the youngest forward to reach five hundred assists since LeBron James back in two thousand nine. With Atlanta dominating lately, going fourteen and one in their last fifteen games, Johnsons all-around game makes a compelling case that he belongs on an All-NBA team, rule or no rule.
