I don't know about these rules or mechanics. I mean, I haven't watched the AS game in a while. What does that mean?


Basically instead of the old school rookies v. sophomores format, they put the entire crop of 28 players (some G-League Ignite players were added) into one pool and draft four team of 7 players each.

Paolo went No. 1 and Franz went No. 2.

I was hoping they would be on the same team but I hope they go against each other.

So..Ummm this is Coach Pau Gasol’s team, how did he get all these players?
Team Pau

Paolo Banchero (Magic)
Benedict Mathurin (Pacers)
Jaden Ivey (Pistons)
Scottie Barnes (Raptors)
Jose Alvarado (Pelicans)
Keegan Murray (Kings)
Andrew Nembhard (Pacers)

Pau went for pure offense. I don’t know anyone on this team except Barnes that might think about defending.

Coaches were Pau Gasol and Deron Williams. Joakim Noah and Jason Terry are the other two coaches.

Isn't that what you want in an all-star game? Lol

Paolo definitely showing off his passing with this roster.

I think they show some defense in the last two minutes of the game. :)

I mean that's pretty impressive and deeming that they where selecting 1 & 2. I think everyone is starting to catch one how special this duo can be. There essentially saying the magic have the 2 best young prospects in the nba.

All good fun, but Franz doesn't really do all star games, so I think his coach made a bad draft. Haha!

For real though I can't see Franz doing anything basketball related "just for fun."
