This year the format for the Rising Stars challenge during All Star weekend will put USA against the world.
Team USA Roster Position Player Team G Trey Burke Jazz G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Pistons G Michael Carter-Williams 76ers G Zach LaVine Timberwolves F Shabazz Muhammad Timberwolves C Nerlens Noel 76ers G Victor Oladipo Magic G Elfrid Payton Magic C Mason Plumlee Nets F Cody Zeller Hornets
Team World Roster Position Player Team C Steven Adams Thunder G/F Giannis Antetokounmpo Bucks G/F Bojan Bogdanovic Nets C Gorgui Dieng Timberwolves G Dante Exum Jazz C Rudy Gobert Jazz F Nikola Mirotic Bulls C Kelly Olynyk Celtics G Dennis Schroder Hawks G/F Andrew Wiggins Timberwolves
IMO looks like the world has the better team. Congrats to KO! I blame Smart's snub solely on Stevens. Smart was one of the most NBA ready out of the top picks, he should be having a better season. I thought Smart would have a legit shot at ROY. Stevens rotations are really bothering me, seems like we are trying to be a mediocre team. IMO Smart and Young should be getting more minutes and looks instead we are playing guys like Bass and Prince who wont be with the team next season. IMO Stevens has been an underwhelming coach so far here in Boston. Maybe this leap from Collage to the Pros as a Coach is as hard as they say.

Smart being left off could have had more to do with the number of games he has missed with the ankle injury than with how Stevens is using him. Smart is definitely better than some of the players picked. 4 Timberwolves on the team? Congrats to Kelly for making the team but he may not be able to play, depending on the ankle.
