Disagree with it all you want, that's how it works.
the way it works is the coaches select the reserves and if Andy has made more of an impression than Hibbert , he will go

Each of the 30 NBA head coaches have already received an email from the league, asking them to send in ballots with the names of seven players (two guards, two forwards, one center and two wild cards) deserving to play in the All-Star Game for their respective conference.
Choosing only seven will be difficult for the coaches tasked with doing so. However, they are given some leeway in picking the players at each of the positions.
Unlike the fan votes, which had a strict list of guards, forwards and centers, the coaches are allowed to place a player that was listed as a forward in the center spot (or a forward at the guard spot, etc.) if they feel that player can play that position. This helps to prevent deserving All-Stars from being snubbed by less-deserving players due to a lack of quality players at that position.
Still, there's no getting around the fact that, with all of the players that have played their way to serious All-Star consideration, there will be players overlooked simply because there is no room for them.
