    No. Between Rudy and Bayless, neither of them have gotten enough minutes, and Pendergraph's not getting in. The rest won't even be considered.

    Not a chance. Here's a list of sophomore guards sorted by scoring average.

    Rudy is currently ninth - and has played at least 10 fewer games than the eight sophomore guards ahead of him.

    They only pick nine players per team in the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge. So, that means three, or at the most four, sophomore guards will be selected.

    Derrick Rose at 19.1 PPG
    O.J. Mayo at 18.4 PPG
    Eric Gordon at 17.0 PPG

    are all locks to make the team. If they take a 4th guard, it will be Russell Westbrook at 15.9 PPG and 7.5 APG.

    Bayless at 8.8 PPG and 2.3 APG and Rudy at 8.0 PPG and 2.0 APG (in only 24 games) have absolutely no chance in hell of making the sophomore team.

    Rudy might have made it if he wasn't injured, but probably not. Dude is a bench player. He isn't going to beat out a bunch of guys who start for their teams, and are playing well in the process.

    You are correct...forgot about that...sorry Rudy. (not really, I don't want any Blazer playing in anything other than a Blazer game this year!)
