The 2025-26 Bob Sura All-Stars

E.J. Liddell – Brooklyn Nets

Liddell’s career to this point could be summed up as unfortunate. An undersized power forward, the second-round pick from 2022 tore up his knee before he’d made a single NBA appearance for New Orleans.

A combination of injuries and lack of opportunity limited him to just 20 games over his first three seasons; he has in fact only played 26 this campaign in Brooklyn. Fair play, then, for grasping this long awaited opportunity with both hands.

In five April games, all starts (his only career starts) Liddell has averaged18.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and a "stock" per game. While his 59/58/90 shooting splits are clearly unsustainable, Liddell’s willingness to stretch the floor (11 threes in April) is encouraging.

Precious Achiuwa – Sacramento Kings

Achiuwa has had plenty of chances to establish himself as a solid rotation piece in the past. On each occasion, though, the 26-year-old has failed to impress. And that’s how you end up a Sacramento King.

To his credit, Achiuwa has made the most of his time in the Northern Californian Siberia, averaging 15.5 points and 9.2 boards in 20 games through March and April, with a block and 0.9 steals thrown in.

If this were 1986, the Kings would have a devastating young front court in he and Maxime Reynaud. Shame then that it’s 2026 and the three ball is a thing.

Jericho Sims – Milwaukee Bucks

We could have filled this team with Bucks, such is the state of their roster, but alas we will limit it to two (sorry Ousmane Dieng).

Sims has been solid for Milwaukee since mid-March and has become a force in April, supplying the Bucks with a near nightly double-double (10 points, 9.1 rebounds) and a surprising 4.7 assists, showing off to this point unseen playmaking chops. The clear highlight was his first career triple-double against Detroit.

The bouncy 27-year-old likely won somebody a fantasy championship with his April performances.

 Brice Sensabaugh – Utah Jazz

We may be cheating here, given Sensabaugh has been a rotation piece for the Jazz since the calendar flipped to 2026, but the judging panel has allowed it given the 22-year-old’s March/April production.

Known primarily as a willing and able shooter, Sensabaugh hasn’t disappointed, with 56 three-point makes at 42.2 percent in the stretch run, averaging 21.9 points per game over that 18-game span.

The Jazz will be most encouraged by the uptick in Sensabaugh’s playmaking (3.2 assists) and defense (0.9 steals), areas where he has traditionally struggled.
