NBA Rookie Challenge Players Announced

[Emiliano]

No offense to Utah fans, but I think that Calderon and Graham deserve to be in the all-star game than Deron Williams.

[Andrew]

Wow Nocioni Who will take 'Meka's spot? Al will be nice...

I'd say Al Jefferson or Josh Smith.

[maes]

I believe Luther Head & Deron snuck in there as SGs, because they take on a fair amount of shooting duties for their team and they're legitimate threats from long range. The only other competing SG is Nate Robinson.

Tough to send a PG to the AS weekend who shoots 13% from long range, i think if another PG gets on the team it will be Felton.

[Matt]

Sophomores have got this, unless Chris Paul has something to say about that.

I think Luther Head is more of a SG than PG. Though he's been playing a lot of PG minutes due to Alston's injury. He's natural position is SG. That been said, i think Calderon has been doing a better job than Deron Williams and Luther Head.
I think the "judges" or whoever they are, had to look at each player's team record... oh wait Houston is doing real bad, and Utah isn't that much better......

So it's not the got milk? rookie challenge anymore?

just kidding I don't really give a fuck

I wish Oberto or Udrih were there but they haven't done anything impressive lately

I'm pretty sure the only reason Luther's in there is because the ASG is in Houston. I wish I could get tickets. They're going for like $400 here.

No francisco garcia or kevin martin? =\

Kevin Martin - 9 ppg and 4 rpg
Francisco Garcia - 6 ppg, 3 rpg, 2 apg

Those stats aren't too impressive for Rookie Challange. If you sayin where is Garcia, how bout ... where is Graham, where is Williams and etc.

That sucks that no one from ATL made it =\

Graham-6.4ppg 3.0 rebs .8apg
M.william-6.8ppg 4.5rpg .7apg

[air gordon]

I'll go ahead and make Gloveguy's post for him...

Delonte West should be on the Soph team. West has been a steady contributor for the Celts

50fg%
85ft%
42 3pt%

that's pretty awesome. only 2 players were able to accomplish that last year IRRC- Nash and Terry

West should take Harris spot on the team- almost all of West's stats are better then his

[iG®]

Yea, Krstic deserved it. He should've been there last year as well....
