'Andrew' Drummond takes this one. You can just see it in his eyes.

If it was Rookies vs Sophmores, the Rookies would get killed.

For the Rising Stars Challenge they don't pick 12 players for each team, it's normally 9 - 11 people on each squad. Each year it changes though.

Ross will be busy preparing to defend his dunk title. Nevertheless, it would be nice to see him in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Not having ross there is total bs coz, even though I am a celtics fan, i think he deserves it more then olynyk, but nevertheless this will be epic, some big names there (like Valanciunas, if you know what i mean :P)

The rosters will be finalized following a draft by TNT personalities.


So to people complaining, the rosters are not complete. Draymond Green, John Henson, Terrance Williams, and of course who could forget Anthony Bennet should be added.

There is no one named Terrance williams in the NBA..

There is someone named Terrence Williams, but he is definetly not a rookie or a sophmore.
"We're like Tim Duncan and David Robinson," Villanueva said, following the team's morning shootaround at the America West Arena. "But a younger version. I really feel that."
