    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI -- While Dwyane Wade was strutting his future lottery-pick status in the NCAA Tournament last March, Udonis Haslem was playing pro basketball in France, wondering why he went undrafted after a sterling career at Florida.

    Haslem doesn't have to wonder anymore. On Tuesday he and Wade were among nine selected to play in the Rookie Challenge Feb. 13 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

    It marks the first time the Heat has sent two rookies to All-Star Weekend.</div>

    Butler hasn't done much this season. I'm not surprised.

    He is injured, but you're right. Even his awesome defense suffered. Wade and Wagner are doing better then I expected though.

    No surprise to see Wade selected.Certainly the 2nd best all-rounded rookie this season after Lebron James.Very exciting to watch,him teaming up with Lebron and Melo will be fun to watch.

    Yeah he has been playing aweful but in the month of january he is avergaing close to 11ppg on 45%shooting.
    I was just kind of waiting for a Caron vs. Carmelo match up.
    Caron was the top Rookie in scoring last year in the Rookie challenge game; he had like 26 points.
