Will Boban or Simmons play in the Rising Stars All-Star weekend event?

That would be entertaining. I'd tune in for that. Rising Stars used to be the Rookie/Sophomore game. Last year, they did Team World vs. Team US.

And does Kyle have a shot at the sophomore team?

I'm guessing its a long shot for all 3. Boban is the only one that got any press, but the rookie class has no shortage of bigs.

Doubtful. They don't get enough minutes. If any of them were to have a shot though, it would be Simmons

[lilbthebasedgod]

They never get ranked in the rookie power rankings even though there's players that score less than 2 a game on there.

I'd say no.

Thinking the same thing, but Boban is so popular, and if they did US versus International, Boban would be a great choice. Can you imagine a Porzingis/Marjanovic frontline?

That's what I was thinking. Boban would help ratings. People love watching him. He's a giant with real skills. But if its rookies sophomores juice has his best chance, if it's world USA then boban has his best chance imo

I think Jokic would deserve that spot tbh

[BatManu20]

Negative.

[SAGirl]

All 3 are quality players and fun to watch but one is a regular in the rotation. Simmons didn't really start playing in the rotation until mid Dec and Pop has still pled Anderson some games. The 3 of them have been in and out.

I could however definitely see appeal in Boban. He's been very popular every time he plays, specially in USA vs World teams.

[tonight...you]

If Bobi played the Rook/Soph game and his mates fed him: he would score 30+, depending on minutes, but the efficiency would be ridiculous.
30 on 18 attempts, I would say- given the opportunities...

Bobi would dominate the sophs.

+1.

But still, there is a place for Boban too.
