Playing like one, Affl alo is having quite the year and his play has brought many to believe in his worthiness of a fi rst All-Star appearance. But, the NBA we have all come to un- derstand is not one to commend a great player, on a bad team. Give it up for @nhnets Despite having a career year and ranking among the top shooting guards in practically every sta- #GiveItUpForGood tistical category, Affl alo’s hopes of making his fi rst NBA All-Star team were dashed on Thursday when he was left off the team. Clearly, Orlando’s 12-35 record factored into the decision to pick the likes of DerMar DeRo- zan and Joe Johnson ahead of Orlando’s standout guard.

In particular, we focus on estimating the Louisiana sales and excise taxes attributable to the event based on intercept surveys conducted by the LSU Economics & Policy Research Group at the event, expenditure data provided by the NBA, media and sponsors, and vendor surveys. Key results are: > Recorded attendance figures indicate 15,701 persons attended the 66th NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans, Louisiana on Feb. 19, 2017. > We also used recorded attendance of the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game (9,604), BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge (15,701), State Farm All-Star Saturday Night (15,701), and the NBA D-League All-Star Game presented by Kumho Tire (6,000), and estimated attendance based on intercept surveys at other events associated with NBA All-Star Weekend such as those in Champions Square. > Because many people attended multiple events, we used survey information to convert these attendance figures to an estimate of 27,241 unique individuals attending one or more events during the NBA All-Star 2017 Weekend. > Consistent with standard impact study methodology, we focus on identifying visitors from outside Louisiana and estimating spending by those from outside the State.

Huerter earned a Second Team berth, while Young was a unanimous First Team selection after receiving first-team votes on all 100 ballots from a global panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. It marks the second straight year a Hawk has received All-Rookie recognition (John Collins earned Second Team honors last season). Atlanta last placed two players on the All-Rookie teams in 2005 (Josh Childress and Josh Smith). In 75 games (59 starts), Huerter averaged 9.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 27.3 minutes (.419 FG%, .385 3FG%, .732 FT%). Among qualifying rookies, he ranked third in three-point percentage (36th in the NBA), sixth in assists per game, seventh in steals per game, seventh in minutes per game, 10th in ppg and 12th in rebounds per game. He is second in Hawks rookie history in three-pointers made (136) and tied for fifth in starts. He was second among all rookies (to Trae Young’s seven), recording six games with five-or-more triples. His 136 makes from long range are the sixth-most in league history by a rookie age 20 or younger. On January 11 at Philadelphia, Huerter scored a career-best 29 points (career-high 11-17 FGs, 5-8 3FGs, 2-2 FTs) in 39 minutes.
