NBA All-Star 2013 rosters: No Pistons, but you knew that

It should come as no real surprise that the Detroit Pistons do not have any All Stars on their team. The 2013 NBA All-Star reserves were announced on Thursday evening, officially leaving the Pistons All Starless for the fourth year in a row. The last time the Pistons had an All Star was 2009 when Allen Iverson was somehow voted into the starting lineup. (I had completely forgotten about that and wish I hadn't looked it up.)

As opposed to last year when Greg Monroe was arguably snubbed, I wasn't anticipating any Pistons making it this year -- Monroe has taken a step back and Andre Drummond doesn't get enough minutes.

If the All Stars were chosen based on how they've performed per minute, though, you could say Drummond was snubbed. Tom Sunnergren of Philadunkia.com gave his argument for why Drummond should be an All Star in a recent ESPN 5-on-5, the first I've seen Drummond mentioned in the All Star discussion [H/T Dan Feldman at PistonPowered]:

Andre Drummond. The Pistons are reportedly brooding over whether to try to win now or hazard a youth movement. The fact that they think these two ideas are in conflict tells you a lot about the state of the organization. In just 19.8 minutes a night, their rookie center is 11th in the NBA in PER and leads all qualifying players with .363 wins per 48 minutes.

That latter figure is actually up to .366 now. More in a minute.
