The sophomores usually win this, but the rookies might have a chance this year. Wall and Griffin could do some real damage if they come out to play.

Roddy Mother Theresa Beaubois is too good for this Rookie/Soph game.

SHit, he is too good for the allstar and even playing regular season NBA.

He will go directly to the HOF.

Rookie frontcourt: Blake Griffin, DeMarcus Cousins, Derrick Favors, Greg Monroe

Sophomore frontcourt: DeJuan Blair, Taj Gibson, Serge Ibaka

Sophomores have better perimeter scorers, but rookies can control the game in the paint and on the glass. Blake Griffin should score 30+ points fairly easily.

Curious selection of Eric Bledsoe over Evan Turner.

Everyone thought that last year, but Blair won it by himself against what should have been a superior front court.

In fact, I would say last years Soph frontline was better than this years rookie:

Gasol, Love & Brook Lopez
