You have to create them in game, those are portraits only.
Create them using create a player. Save rosters and exit to Windows.
Then, for make portraits appear, you have to do some dbf editing. Go to this location:
My Documents -> NBA Live 08 -> saves
Here choose the roster you're using. Folder name should be the same as save name in game.
Open players.dbf file with DB Commander. Find your rookies, they should be at the bottom. Then go right until you find a field "PLAYERPKG". If you find it, insert 2 first letters from player's first name and 5 first letters from player's last name. It should look like this for example:
Michael Beasley - MIBEASL
Brook Lopez - BRLOPEZ
If player's last name is shorter than 5 letters, do this:
Derrick Rose - DEROSE_
OJ Mayo - OJMAYO_
etc.
Search also for the field "ISCREATED" and set it to False.
Save it and quit. You're done, portraits should appear.
