Wiggins
Lavine
Shabazz
Dieng
Bennett
GRIII

Are all eligible this being 1 or 2 year players. How many do you think we will get in? Wiggins is probably a lock. Dieng very well could be too. Who else?

It will depend on how many minutes LaVine and Bennett get. I don't see Muhammad and Robinson making it, though.

Don't care really.

But don't forget the Sophomore curse Calinks. Sooner than later half of the candidates will miss it due to injury. :noway:

The sophomore curse hasn't hit us in a few years actually.

Ideally none play in it because the last thing you want is for young guys to play meaningless extra minutes

I predict Wiggins, Dieng, LaVine and Bennett will all be there and Wiggins and LaVine will participate in the dunk contest

Wiggins, LaVine, Bennett and GR3 all have the skillz to be in the dunk contest. Notice I spelt skills with a "Z". I did so to sound like I'm from tha streetz.

Wiggins and Dieng are locks. LaVine and Bennett are possible, depends on how they play. GR3 has no chance. Bazz has a chance, I guess, but it'll be tough.
