lmao wtf.. somewhere out there, a player got shafted.

maybe this has something to do with Stern wanting to reach out to the country of Italy and his desire for globalization of the game.

Wow I'm very surprised. Bargnani does not deserve to be there and there's going to be a lot of Bargnani bashing from other team's fans in the upcoming days because of this.

How will the announcers describe his game? He's a key to the game. 2006 1st overall pick. 2nd overall rookie of the year voting. But complete regression this year.

Holy Somkes, BC comes through again!

I can think of at least three players who are more deserving:
Josh Boone
Craig Smith
Shawne Williams

Josh Boone should have made it over Bargs.

Bargs wasn't ever out of the picture - he just wasn't making himself a shoe-in like many of them. He was up against guys like Azubuike, Craig Smith, etc - none of whome are starting, or head and shoulders above him. And none have any marketing appeal at all other than Bargs. They went real small on the soph team:

By position:

Sophs:
Aldridge
Bargnani/Millsap
Gay
Roy/Brewer
Rondo/Farmar/Gibson

Rooks:
Horford/Williams
Yi/Scola
Moon/Green
Durant/Navarro
Conley

That team is light on PGs.

Actually when I looked at it, there really are not that many worthy candidates over Bargnani, which is sad. The players for which there could be a case made for are:

Tyrus Thomas
Thabo Sefalosha
Josh Boone
Kyle Lowry
Renadlo Balkman
Craig Smith

I think Craig Smtih is the name that really jumps out at me. He's averaging 9.8 PPG on .547 shooting and 4.8 RPG.

Bargs really doesn't deserve it. He's on the bubble for sure, but I'd have rather him not going and just take the days off.

Moon of course, deserves to be there and can't wait to see what flashy moves he pulls off.
