Rookies are going to get annhilated.

[sucram]

I always forget Marcus Williams is a rookie. He really looks comfortable and mature on the court, his gonna be a 'great' player. As for this year's Rook/Soph game i'm not so interested. Check how good the Sophomore's PGs are.

[cyanide]

Looking at the lineup again, I really just can't see how the rookies will win. Then again, have the rookies ever won one of those rookie-sophomore matchups?

poor Frye, got replaced by his own teammate, David lee

[Silas]

yeah, and he's playing great basketball, consistent nights of 12-15 pts and 12-15 rebounds 10ppg and 11rpg on the year is better than any other sophomore player aside from Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Monta Ellis.

It's also nice that he doesn't really get injured

[Matt]

remember last season when rookies Diogu and Frye were "off limits" to other teams......now, Diogu not only got traded by he cant get any PT, and Frye is getting significantly outplayed by Lee.

[Andrew]

No Tyrus Thomas. Admittedly it's not exactly an unfair decision but I was hoping I'd get the opportunity to see him play more than a couple of minutes here and there.

[T-wolves]

I was hoping for Craig Smith. I think he should be there over Farmar but they may have wanted another guard instead of a another forward.

[Awesom3]

I wasn't expecting Spanoulis/Novak/John Lucas in there anyway. Good job to Luther Head.

[TomCat]

Brandon Roy!!!! I know that the sophomores have a much better team than the rookies(better guards). but i think that this game could go either way and am expecting Brandon Roy to have a big game and maybe get rookie challenge MVP(although i would have chris paul at favourite).

No Tyrus Thomas. Admittedly it's not exactly an unfair decision but I was hoping I'd get the opportunity to see him play more than a couple of minutes here and there.

I would put Aldridge in over tyrus, and am very disappointed that he didnt make the side. he is currently ranked at number 10 in the rookie rankings on NBA.COM

[Slamduncan]

chris, andrew, and deron. Those guys are a triple threat.
