Rosters, Snubs, Predictions For Usa Vs. World

... run of success occurred after the USA and World teams were picked on January 12, the Hernangomez brothers (Juancho of the Denver Nuggets and Willy of the New York Knicks) could easily find slots on the World team. Pardon the recency bias, but Juancho's performance against the Golden State Warriors on Monday was simply sensational. In 43 minutes, Juancho registered a double-double (27 points and 10 rebounds) in 43 minutes to help lead Denver to a 132-110 win. The 6'9" forward caught fire from three-point land, making six of nine triples on the night. Juancho has enjoyed a successful February. Not counting a February 3 game in which he played only three minutes, Juancho averaged six points and 5.3 rebounds in just 17 minutes per night. Willy is averaging 6.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in just 15.3 minutes per game this season, and he is one of the few bright spots on a bad Knicks team with his recent play, as he's put up 11.5 points and 9.3 boards in 23.8 minutes a night in ...

2017 Rising Stars Challenge Final Score

... to say he came into it with the attitude that he was going to lead his team to victory (something he has done a lot off internationally for Team Canada) - and finished with 36 points (9 threes) 11 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal. His performance stole the MVP away from early front-runner, and New Orleans Pelicans hometown player, Buddy Hield (who would finish with 28 points for the victorious World Team). As for the Jazz guys, Dante had 11 points and 4 assists, and a number of dunks. — Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) February 18, 2017. Trey had 12 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, and two threes. — Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) February 18, 2017. Dante, at 19 minutes, played the least out of any starter on his side. — Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) February 18, 2017. The North West is going to be super tough if these guys ever reach their potential.

How Rookies Sabonis, Abrines Approach Rising Stars Challenge

... Carlton wearing green Mardi Gras beads around his wrist, when Domantas Sabonis had to translate into Spanish to explain to his teammate how certain parade goers get a pair of beads. It drew a confused look from Abrines, then a familiar-feeling laugh between the two. They were teammates as teenagers in Malaga, Spain. They're teammates on the Thunder, each in his first NBA season. Sabonis and Abrines are World Team teammates in the Rising Stars Challenge, the latest Thunder youngsters to experience the annual prelude to the NBA All-Star Game. “It's kind of similar to the draft preparation we had draft night,” Sabonis said Thursday. “ … but everyone said it's like on steroids here.”. Abrines and Sabonis hardly had time to breathe Thursday. Abrines wrapped up an interview with NBA TV's Sekou Smith and Lang Whitaker, then was whisked to an ESPN room for photos, then was shuttled to a table with TNT's David Aldridge, then was handed a modern-looking collapsible water bottle, ...

Kristaps Porzingis Leads Team World In Rising Stars Game

... Jokic is emerging as one of the best young players in the game. The skilled Serbian has made waves for his incredible passing for a center, but he has the full package and more: Just take his recent 40-point game on absurd 17-of-23 shooting from the field against the Knicks. Trey Lyles , Utah Jazz, F: Lyles hasn’t taken the step forward that the Jazz were hoping for this season, but he’s still providing some help off the bench. The forward’s still young, still incredibly athletic, and could make Utah even scarier if he really develops. You might be surprised to see him on the World team, but he is, in fact, Canadian. Emmanuel Mudiay , Denver Nuggets, G: Like Lyles, Mudiay makes this roster thanks to his lottery pick status and minutes played this year. His points and assists are both down from last year, and his true shooting percentage is still way too low. You can see Mudiay’s potential, though, and he’s still only 20 years old. (UPDATE: Mudiay is injured, so New York ...
