No TJ Ford ahhh well can't have all the rooks to guess :cool:

Ford will probably be selected if James makes the Eastern All-Stars' roster.

Ford should be there instead of Hinrich IMO

If this is a proper game then i can't see the Sophs losing. Too much post power. Yao, Boozer, Amare, Nene. Sophs also have a good shooter in Ginobili and Jaric, but damn who gonna match up on Yao? Rooks hopes rest on Melo, Bron and Wade and maybe someone else can step up. Go Sophs!!!!!!!!

so, to keep ya hopes up... wish someone gets injured

but yeah, i think Ford nstead of Kirk...

for the sophs... do they consider only this season? cause if the rookie season is the one that's been considered, i think caron butler should be there.

Why the fuck does anyone pick on Hinrich?Cause he's white?fucking racists!

Ford will be there cause LeBron will be @ASG,Yao will be @ ASG too but Butler won't be in the rookie game,he hasn't been the same after the injury.

way to jump to conclusions turbo

it's all a matter of opinion here- personally i think hinrich should be in the game instead of ford but i understand if other people think otherwise

actually its the other way around in the chicago media- hinrich gets a lot of breaks for all the mistakes he makes.

i think okur should be on the super sophs squad

I like Hinrich over Ford. He's a better shooter and defender. Ford does deserve an honorable mention, though.

Thu Jan 29, 2004 1:27 pm

Yea why would Ford go over Hinrich?

They are doing almost the same thing with Hinrich playing a little more minutes, but shooting better and scoring more.

Thu Jan 29, 2004 3:00 pm

No centers in the sophomore and rookie team?

Rookies, Kaman, and Bosh since he's basically considered a center now b/c he's playing there for the Raps.

Sophmore Yao is the center

but i thought you couldn't do that. It would defeat the purpose by playing back to back games. I don't think yao will be playin in the Rookie challenge. They will have to bring in someone else to replace yao or move the side around and make maybe amare or nene centre!

If a rookie or second-year player is selected to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday, he will also play in the got milk? Rookie Challenge on Friday evening.

Yao WILL play in both games....but will get less minutes in the Rookie CHellenge....I hope!
