Chris Forsberg will play the role of Curry

The NBA has announced the 24 players who'll be All-Stars this season, but we still don't know which players will be playing for which team. That mystery will be solved Thursday, when the league announces the rosters after captains LeBron James and Stephen Curry make their selections in a secret draft.

Despite calls from fans, coaches and even some players for the league to televise the draft -- or at least make the pick order public after the fact -- the league hasn't budged from its stance that the All-Star draft will be conducted in private. But that doesn't mean we can't have some fun.

Using the same rules that James and Curry will follow when they draft, we've picked our teams from the pool of players to recreate what might be happening behind closed doors NBA Live Coins. For those unfamiliar with the rules of the draft, here's a quick refresher:

As the top vote-getter among the starters, LeBron James will serve as one captain and will have the first overall pick.

Stephen Curry, the top vote-getter from the Western Conference, will serve as the other captain and pick second.

The picks will alternate until all eight players voted in as starters by the fans, media and players have been selected.

When the draft moves on to picking from the reserves, the order will reverse NBA MT Coins. Curry will pick first, followed by James.

The captains do not need to meet any positional quotas when filling out their rosters. Curry himself has joked that he might pick nothing but guards.

Since James and Curry are a bit busy with games Tuesday night, we turned to our writers to step in for them and make their draft picks. Chris Forsberg will play the role of Curry, while Kevin Arnovitz will act as James and make the first overall pick.
