Report: Horford one of last All-Stars picked in draft

Share

Celtics forward Al Horford and San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge were the final two picks of the NBA All-Star draft, according to a report from ESPN.com's Chris Haynes.

In a change from the traditional East-vs.-West format, last month, the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James and the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry, the top two All-Star vote-getters, each drafted a team from the 22 other players chosen to play in this year's game, which is Sunday in Los Angeles.

Aldridge was selected last to the team captained by James, while Curry took Horford with the final pick for his team. The order of selection was not officially made public by the NBA, but Haynes reported that Curry acknowledged Friday that he took the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo with his first pick. 

Horford has averaged 13.3 points and 7.8 rebounds in the first 54 games of the season, Aldridge 22.8 points and 8.4 rebounds.
