Rookie Challenge Rosters Set

Postby Dan's Brain on Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:14 pm

Rookies:

Eric Bledsoe
DeMarcus Cousins
Derrick Favors
Landry Fields
Blake Griffin
Wesley Johnson
Greg Monroe
Gary Neal
John Wall

Sophomores:

DeJuan Blair
DeMar DeRozan
Stephen Curry
Tyreke Evans
Taj Gibson
Jrue Holiday
Serge Ibaka
Brandon Jennings
Wesley Matthews

That's all pretty reasonable. Carmelo Anthony and Amare are the assistant coaches for the Sophomores and Rookies, respectively

In rookies there is no surprise, but in the sophomores i wasn't expecting Taj Gibson to be in. Right now i don't know if there is somebody missing in the soph. Maybe Gallinari?

I don't think Taj's selection is surprising at all. He deserves it. He's a decent player.

Rookies > Sopho

Other than Stephen Curry and Tyreke Evans, I don't see stars. Maybe Jennings but he'll always be inefficient.

No surprises there. I'll pick Griffin to take home MVP honours, assuming he doesn't get selected for the All-Star Game as well and they decide to let him off the hook for the Rookie Challenge.

Wow, this is going to be competitive this year, Blake and Wall for the rookies. Imagine the assists that Wall will receive, passing the ball the Griffin. Larry Fields and Gary Neal are going to be great scorers in this game. Is Jennings going to be healthy to participate?

Cury, Gibson, DeRozan and Blair are going to play well in this one. I don't think Ibaka is going to be able to stop Griffin, that'll be an interesting match up. And so will Curry vs Wall.

I'll be watching Griffin very closely. I have a feeling that everybody will be setting him up for a lot of dunks and alley-oops.

With him in the dunk contest, and probably the ASG, don't be surprised if Griffin sits this one out a la Rose.

It certainly is a lot on Griffin's schedule, for the most part I think he'll be alright though.

He missed an entire season last year. He's not immune to injuries. I'd rather have him rested, not have him 3 days in a row participating each and every events. Besides, he's known as a real workholic. Rest would be good.
