The reserves of the 2014 WNBA All-Star Game will be released on Tuesday. But we here at Swish Appeal decided to take a look at who we as a community thought were deserving of the honor before the news comes out.
Nate, Albert and I decided to select who we would pick as reserves to the All-Star Game this Saturday, where they will get a chance to showcase their skills at the mid season break. Rosters are expected to be at 11 players per team, so we selected six reserves per conference: two guards, three frontcourt players, and one player regardless of position.
Here are our picks, and they are listed below:
Eastern Conference
| Albert Lee | Pat Friday | Nate Parham | |
| Guard | Katie Douglas, CT | Tiffany Hayes, ATL | Katie Douglas, CT |
| Guard | Shavonte Zellous, IND | Shavonte Zellous, IND | Epiphanny Prince, CHI |
| Frontcourt | Erika de Souza, ATL | Erika de Souza, ATL | Erika de Souza, ATL |
| Frontcourt | Erlana Larkins, IND | Erlana Larkins, IND | Tina Charles, NY |
| Frontcourt | Chiney Ogwumike, CT | Chiney Ogwumike, CT | Chiney Ogwumike, CT |
| Extra Player | Emma Meesseman, DC | Katie Douglas, CT | Tiffany Hayes, ATL |
| IR* | Tiffany Hayes, ATL | Jessica Breland, CHI | Erlana Larkins, IND |
*Albert selected Hayes, Nate selected Erlana Larkins, and I selected Jessica Breland as a potential injury replacement for Elena Delle Donne. Delle Donne was voted as a starter to the All-Star Game, but has been sidelined indefinitely due to Lyme Disease complications. Therefore, she may not be able to play in the game.
Western Conference
| Albert Lee | Pat Friday | Nate Parham | |
| Guard | Lindsay Whalen, MIN | Lindsay Whalen, MIN | Lindsay Whalen, MIN |
| Guard | Danielle Robinson, SA | Penny Taylor, PHX | Danielle Robinson, SA |
| Frontcourt | Courtney Paris, TUL | Camille Little, SEA | Courtney Paris, TUL |
| Frontcourt | Candice Dupree, PHX | Candice Dupree, PHX | Candice Dupree, PHX |
| Frontcourt | Nneka Ogwumike, LA | Nneka Ogwumike, LA | Nneka Ogwumike, LA |
| Extra Player | Seimone Augustus, MIN | Danielle Robinson, SA | Seimone Augustus, MIN |
| IR** | Crystal Langhorne, SEA | Glory Johnson, TUL |
**Albert and Nate selected Augustus as a reserve, but then named injury replacements for her. Albert selected Crystal Langhorne, while Nate selected Glory Johnson. Augustus has been sidelined recently due to a knee injury and may not play in the game. I would have put Augustus in the lineup, but ultimately didn't in light of the injury.
Nate also added a potential 12th player to each lineup after his injury replacements. This is if the WNBA ultimately goes with 12 players on each All-Star team. If this happens, he selected Emma Meesseman to take the 12th spot for the East, while Crystal Langhorne would take that spot for the West.
