I'm not a big fan of all that 'All-Star' thing but AFAIR voters choose only starters. It's irrelevant if Smoove is before or after Boozer, same goes for Bynum.

[dlpin]

As tremor mentioned, the voting only matters for the starters, and the starters are picked regardless of health. That is, even with Yao out for the season he will still be named the starter, and when he can't go they don't go to the 2nd on the list. Stern picks the replacement for the team and the coach then chooses the starter. Brendan Haywood won't be the starting center if Bynum is out.

[AHF]

It would be amusing if Haywood got the starting nod when he is the second best center on his own team. How is he getting votes?
