Who should be invited to play in the Rookie vs. sophomore game. Starters and bench. This is mine. Rookies: PG-Chris Paul SG- Jose Calderon SF- Charlie Villanueva PF-Ike Diogu C- Channing Frye Bench: Deron Williams, Sarunis Jasikevicius, Andrew Bogut, Nate Robinson, Sean May, Danny Granger, Joey Graham Sophomores: PG- Jameer Nelson SG- Ben Gordon SF- Andre Iguodala PF- Dwight Howard C- Emeka Okafor Bench: Chris Duhon, Devin Harris, Al Jefferson, Delonte West, Nenad Krstik, Josh Smith, Luol Deng
I think David Lee deserves to play, but they probably want more diversity on the team. I wonder what Nate's going to do now that he's allowed to showboat.
Rookie Team PG- Chris Paul SG- Sarunas Jasikevicius SF- Ike Digou PF- Charlie Villanueva C- Channing Frye Bench: Deron Williams, Jose Calderon, Danny Granger, Sean May, Andrew Bogut, Joey Graham, David Lee Sophmore Team PG- Jameer Nelson (unlike samoan, my selection was because I'm a homer ) SG- Ben Gordon SF- Andre Igoudala PF- Dwight Howard C- Emeka Okafor Bench: Devin Harris, Sebastian Telfair, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, Al Jefferson, J.R. Smith, Nenad Krstic
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting samoan-maverick:</div><div class="quote_post">Devin Harris should start over Nelson. Not being a homer just that Devin has been great this season.</div> Devin has had a great season, I'm not gonna take that away from him, but I will say Nelson is having an even better season. Okay, he and Dwight Howard are young players with potentrial on a team that is too old, sometimes too selfish, and doesn't treasure the ball enough. As I write this i just notice Jameer scored 32 points and still contributed 8 assists, and had more steals than turnovers. Has Devin ever done that?
My lineup: Paul (they should promote the All-Star weekend behind his charismatic mug) Stoudamire (the Atlanta version) Bogut (it's what the League wants) Villanueva (for northeastern viewers) Frye (for the NYC market) Bench: D. Williams, Ike, Shav. Randolph (just to continue to legend of improbability), Diop and Head Sophs: D. Harris (watch a Mavs game and you'll agree) Deng (I'm buying right now) Okafor(if he can play) D. Howard, of course Steve Logan (the best college shooter I have ever seen and I have seen Redick more than I want) Ok so maybe he's a junior, but do you think Stern will notice after a few highballs. If Logan can't play, put in Nelson. Bench: Marquis Daniels should qualify for medical reasons, but scratch if he don't sniff; Delonte West, Kirk Snyder, Kris Humphries and T.J. Ford. Alternate: Telfair (for Daniels who didn't play last year, but actually entered in '03) It's all good. Peace to my internet friends.
somebody forgot raymond felton for the rookies he can be a reserve, and take josh smith out for sophs and put j.r. smith in for him... and btw HAS ANYBODY EVER SEEN JOSH SMITH DUNK WITH HIS RIGHT HAND????????? EVER????????
Rooks: PG-Jasikevicius SG-Paul SF-Villanueva PF-Frye C-Bogut Bench-Stoudamire, Felton, D. Williams, Robinson, Lee, Calderon, Granger. Soph: PG-Nelson SG-Gordon SF-Igoudala PF-Howard C-Okafor Bench: Harris, Telfair, Deng, Josh Smith, Al Jefferson, J.R. Smith, Krstic
Bogut should start over Diogu, easy! And Harris over Nelson. I'm starting to lose faith in Villanueva. j
I'm thinkin Delonte West should also be considered . . . I'm actually really looking forward to this game.
Jameer has better numbers than Devin Harris all the way around except FG %(only .004% difference) and blocks(but Jameer is like 5-11, you should be embarrassed if he blocks you)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Greazy9:</div><div class="quote_post">Bogut should start over Diogu, easy! </div> I'm a total homer and I agree. Diogu has been nice but I think Bogut and Frye deserve the starting spots based off of performance. However, theres no way in hell he shouldnt make the team as a bench player; hes got one of the highest FG% in the league, he starts at C in the west, and hes probably only played half of the games other rookies have because of injury.

Twin Towers: You are right. I now realize he was the great defender several college coaches, including my team Wake Forest, was talking to at Oak Hill Academy (just a few miles from Wake) but he went pro and went off of my radar; when Dallas signed him I thought he was another foreign center from the Euro Leagues. I knew my picks had holes, but I did not mean to insult the readers. Thanks for catching it.
