OT: "Rising Stars" game is now US vs. Rest of World

[Rastapopoulos]

The game that used to be the Rookie game is finally copying the NHL.

Suggestions for the teams? Rest of World:
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Andrew Wiggins
Steven Adams
Oladipo?
Mirotic
Dieng
Gobert
Schroder
Dante Exum
Olynyk

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Jusuf Nurkic?
Nic Stauskas?
Anthony Bennett?
Alex Len?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Oladipo is from Maryland so I'd assume he is on USA
Nerlens Noel?
Ben McLemore?
MCW?
Trey Burke?
Mason PLumlee?
Marcus Smart?
Elfrid Payton?
KJ McDaniels?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If that's close to the rosters, the RoW would look to be heavy favorites...
(Oladipo COULD count as Nigerian if he wanted - I was born in Kenya, but because both my parents are English, that's my citizenship.)

I thought the plan was to play against an international team. Not a team comprised of international players.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

This will not end well. Arenas breaking out in USA! chants.

 

[HailBlazers]

Love the idea. Hopefully it is a composition of international players.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'd rather see Blacks vs. Whites game.:MARIS61:

 

[DUB]

Obviously I'd like to see Matthew Dellavedova, and Joe Ingles in the Rest of the World team with Dante Exum.

 

[riverman]

Foreign players would have to include Vucevic, Batum and almost the entire Spurs roster would be a hell of an international team.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Rising stars, though, only includes rookies and sophomores.

 

[riverman]

I took "the rest of the world" literally

 

[DUB]

Matthew Dellavedova has been added to the Rest of the World squad, replacing the injured Kelly Olynyk.

Go Delly!

Under 6'6" vs. the Over...

 

[riverman]

Obviously I'd like to see Matthew Dellavedova, and Joe Ingles in the Rest of the World team with Dante Exum.

Patty Mills off the list and no love for the Kiwis?

 

[riverman]

I'd rather see Blacks vs. Whites game.:MARIS61:

That's rugby...go All Blacks!

 

[DUB]

Patty Mills off the list and no love for the Kiwis?

No Patty because Rising Stars is only for rookies and sophomores.

The really unlucky one is Aron Baynes. He played 16 games at the back end of the 2012/13 season that rule him out.

white team has to be all 7+ footers tho with shitty handles. kaman is PG

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The World team had 5 players over the age of 24.

I tried to watch some of the game last night, but opted to smack my self on the forehead with the rusty prongs of a hammer..you know its bad when a YMCA level player finds the play unbearable
