Fans Question Trae Young, Jaren Jackson Jr., Alperen Sengun All-NBA Snubs on Twitter
The All-NBA teams were revealed on Friday evening.
Some of the picks were abundantly clear with no debate, like NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being a unanimous first team selection.
Some were not as clear, particularly on the third team, with the race for the final few spots being particularly close. Of note, Houston Rockets center Alperen Şengün and Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. barely missed the third team cut.

Elsewhere, four-time All-Star guard Trae Young missed out on an All-NBA team, and he's now made just one (Third Team in 2022) in his seven-year career despite his career marks of 25.3 PPG and 9.8 APG. Young also led the NBA in assists (11.6 APG).
Los Angeles Clippers big man Ivica Zubac, a much-improved star who made the All-Defensive Second Team, also didn't make the cut.
Here's a look at some reactions from those four missing out on All-NBA teams.
Trae Young
Young averaged 24.2 points per game for the Hawks team that made the play-in tournament despite losing star forward Jalen Johnson (18.9 PPG, 10.0 RPG) to a torn labrum in January. Atlanta also traded second-leading scorer De'Andre Hunter to the Cleveland Cavaliers midseason, so Young carried a heavy burden. He fared well and made the All-Star Game but fell short of All-NBA.
Jaren Jackson Jr.
Jackson just averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, making All-Defensive Second Team honors. It was a solid year but not good enough for All-NBA consideration. And with that, he'll miss out on a supermax extension.
Alperen Şengün
Şengün was the best player on the Western Conference's No. 2 seed, averaging 19.1 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.
The 16th overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft enjoyed his first-ever All-Star Game, and he fared well in the team's first-round, seven-game series loss to the Golden State Warriors, posting 20.9 PPG, 11.9 RPG and 5.3 APG.
The fourth-year pro was the first player on the outside looking into the All-NBA team picture.
Ivica Zubac
Zubac finished second in the Most Improved Player race behind winner Dyson Daniels of the Atlanta Hawks, receiving 23 of a possible 100 first-place votes.
It was for good reason as Zubac was tremendous defensively and also had his best offensive season, averaging 16.8 points on 62.8 percent shooting and 12.6 rebounds per game.
The 28-year-old, in his ninth NBA season, could very well make an All-NBA team next year. He fell just short this time around, but some thought his time was now.
All-NBA teams are usually tough to pick every year. This time around, it was clear there were a few good candidates for the third team that fell short.
