Rising Stars aka Rookie-Sophomore Game Player Pool

The old Rookie-Sophomore game is now the Rising Stars Challenge (Ok.)  Here are the 18 players who were selected to play.

Sophomores:
Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors
Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards
Anthony Davis, New Orleans Hornets
Andre Drummond, Detroit Pistons
Terrence Jones, Houston Rockets
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
Jared Sullinger, Boston Celtics
Jonas Valanciunas, Toronto Raptors
Dion Waiters, Cleveland Cavaliers

Rookies:
Steven Adams, Oklahoma City Thunder
Pero Antic, Atlanta Hawks
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
Trey Burke, Utah Jazz
Michael Carter-Williams, Philadelphia 76ers
Tim Hardaway Jr., New York Knicks
Victor Oladipo, Orlando Magic
Kelly Olynyk, Boston Celtics
Mason Plumlee, Brooklyn Nets


Wow, how bad is this rookie class?  Only 2 of the Top 10 picks from this draft were invited to play in this thing (Oladipo, 2 and Burke 9).  #1 pick Anthony Bennett?  He just scored in double-figures for the first time all season last night.  So, good for him.   Awful, awful draft.
