"The debate over the NBA All-Star rosters is an annual exercise in figuring out who doesn't belong on the team.

With the Western Conference loaded with frontcourt players, some of that criticism is aimed at San Antonio big man Tim Duncan, who is averaging career lows in points, rebounds and minutes played.

Duncan entered Friday's game averaging 13.5 points and 9.3 rebounds.

Still, Duncan was voted a reserve by coaches. And Duncan has the support of Kings coach Paul Westphal.

"I don't really announce my picks, but I definitely voted for Duncan," Westphal said Friday before the Kings hosted the Spurs.

Duncan is listed as a forward on the fan ballot, but Westphal voted for Duncan as a center. It should be noted Duncan is 6-foot-11, but the Spurs still list him as a forward while 6-7 DeJuan Blair is their starting center."
