Rising stars challenge? WTF?

[Veselyfan]

Pek last season : 5.5 pts,3 reb per game...
Splitter last season : 4.6 pts,3.3 reb..

Pek this season : 10.2 pts,5.7 reb
Splitter this season : 9.4 pts,4 reb..

Pekovic was much better in Europe than Splitter wining the Euroleague and he was in the all euroleage first team twice...

Why is Splitter on the sophmore team before Pekovic ?

[Esohny]

Don't care at all that they're changing it. They could scrap the whole All-Star weekend and I wouldn't get that upset.

[Calinks]

So Griffin is really going to take part in this? That surprises me.

In the past players have played in both games. Rook/Soph and all-star

[Klomp]

Having Shaq and Barkley pick the players is "meh." I would rather have them incorporate my coach idea with this.

I would love to see the players picking the teams.

Maybe someone in Orlando filed a restraining order against Pek.

The Spurs needed a representative for exposure? The Wolves have 2 players in the pool, and maybe the league/whomever voted wanted to represent more teams?

I'm also expecting Marshon Brooks to be out with the foot injury, and for Jeremy Lin to take his place.

i thought it was boring anyways. Scrap the rooks/sophs and Do an alums game, Duke vs UNC or Kentucky vs Louisville or something.

Felton/Lawson/Ellington/Vince/Jamison/Hansbrough/Haywood, maybe throw in a couple retired guys for fun like Daugherty and Hubert Davis

fight it out against JJ/Battier/Deng/Brand/Duhon/Grant Hill/Thugleavy/Kyrie/Laettner and of course Will Avery

that'd be way more competitive. I dont even care about those 2 teams but I'd watch that

Or, and I guess this is the most plausible explanation, the nominated big men made a petition that they don't want to get raped in an exhibition game that's meant to be fun for everyone involved.

If they'd have thrown Pek in the pool, there'd be no water left.
