Dear God, the crowd for this rising stars game looks to be about 1/3 capacity and that's being generous. Toronto was such a success last year, maybe they should've just let them host the game on short notice.

My God, half the roster of the Rookie/Sophomore game is just straight trash.

If Porzingis, KAT and Jokic weren't there, you might as well cancel the game

I know this is not a huge event but the attendance is pathetic. This isn't something you want highlights of being shown around the world.

At least they fill up the crowd when they give the tickets away like that. Hoping Sunday isn't like the one year, in Houston I think, where even the main event barely had a crowd.

Why is Exum starting? He shouldn't have even made the team

Exum looks like he's in a lot better shape than the last time I'd seen him play. Shed that baby weight he was carrying after the injury.

Yeah his shot form is still something he must be working on, but he attacks the rim well.

it's definitely worse than last year. Lots of good players hurt. Everyone is just bricking 3s

Just shows you how raw this new wave of talent is

Pretty much. Jonathan Simmons is basically the only one in this game.

I don't watch many knicks games but Porzingis has one dunk :D Reminds me of KG

Edit - one type of dunk

I feel bad for the few people that paid to be there.
