NBA rookies: Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes, Andre Drummond, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Bradley Beal, Alexey Shved, Dion Waiters, and Tyler Zeller.

im too lazy to think of any snubs right now. tho terrance ross shouldnt be in it over any of those rooks

Guess who's gonna watch that game?







Me, ima watch for the White LBJ, he bout to go ham...

oh and yea Sullinger, Ross, and one of Smith/Morris could of gotten in


Edit: I hope Parsons, Faried, and Kawhi all get drafted on the same team... then we can see what coulda been a Rockets squad

Congrats Parsons!

He is averaging 14.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.15 steals in 46 starts. He becomes the first Rocket to take part in this game since Aaron Brooks and Luis Scola were sophomores for the 2009 version.

Parsons tweeted this..
Thanks to everyone who has helped me throughout my career, were on our way! Extremely excited to play in the #BBVARisingStars game in Htown.

Congrats Chandler, definitely deserved it. Fans will be able to vote for the starters (for the first time?)

DAMNIT

I wanted Parsons on Team Chuck with Faried & Kwahi!

Can you imagine a team of
Kwahi
Parsons
Faried

I like Team Shaq's chances. Barkley may have drafted some good players, but Shaq's got the scorers. This is an exhibition game, so it's all about offense.
