The Western Conference All-Star reserves are scheduled to be revealed Thursday night on TNT. Who do we think will make the cut?

Thursday night, the NBA will officially announce the remaining players who will make the All-Star rosters. Of course, they will only be revealing the All-Star reserves, as the starters were named last Thursday, January 19th.

The revelation of the All-Star starters was met with much controversy in both the Eastern and Western Conferences. Many people felt that Russell Westbrook, who’s averaging a triple double on the season, and Isaiah Thomas, who’s averaging nearly 10 points per fourth quarter, were snubbed from an honor they rightfully earned.

That begs the question: will there be any snubs from the reserves too?

If so, could that be another reason to overhaul the All-Star selection process?

Unfortunately, we here at Nugg Love don’t have the answers for the second question, but we can help answer the first… well, kind of. We decided to select the remaining roster for the Western Conference All-Star team. So without any further ado, here’s who we believe should be the reserves:
