Doc Rivers wants All-Star draft televised, rosters expanded to 15

Add Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers to the growing list of people who want more changes to the NBA All-Star Game.

The league has already made major alterations for the 2018 edition, with the game no longer a battle between the conferences and instead involving a draft by the captains (LeBron James and Stephen Curry) for each side. However, the NBA has opted against televising that draft - something Rivers disagrees with.

"I actually think they should do the coaches' vote (for reserves), that should be public," Rivers said, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell. "And I think since we're in the age of transparency, we're announcing every time our official makes a mistake. That should definitely be live, the pick of the teams. Doesn't hockey do that?"

Additionally, All-Star rosters feature 12 players (five starters and seven substitutes) on each side, so it's common to hear plenty of complaints about seemingly deserving players not making the cut - something Rivers has a simple cure for.

"I wish the league would go to 15," he said. "Whatever we dress (in regular games), we should have All-Stars."

The complete rosters will be announced Thursday, and the All-Star Game will be played on Feb. 18.
