Several NBA players appear poised to break out in 2023-24 and make the All-Star team for the first time in their careers. Here's our prediction.

Paolo Banchero's impressive rookie season with the Orlando Magic sets him up to become a focal point on offense and potentially earn his first All-Star selection.
With Ja Morant sidelined, Jaren Jackson Jr. has a chance to showcase his offensive skills and maintain his defensive intensity, positioning himself for his first All-Star Game appearance.
Mikal Bridges' move to the Brooklyn Nets gives him the opportunity to shine among a team of young talents, and if he continues to excel on both ends of the court, he could secure an All-Star nod.
