Hayward made BBVA Rising Star Challenge (Rookie / Soph Allstart game)

[PrinceJL]

Hopefully this pisses Kanter off and he starts playing with a chip on his shoulder.

Edit: Same with Favors and hopefully Burks will get out of the doghouse and earn his minutes.

Favors doesn't belong on the Sophomore team but Kanter does (unfortunately his minutes are less than both Thompson/Williams).

 

[cowhide]

Favors and Kanter should be pissed. Some of those guys picked over him are ridiculous. Thompson come on the guy isn't even close to Kanter. Rubio shouldn't be in the game. He was drafted two or three years ago. He should be in the real game though.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Oh c'mon, Favors should be one of the sophs.

I was going to say this is a popularity contest for the fans, but then I don't see Jimmer among the Frosh.

 

[NAOS]

who the F is going to play in the paint for the rookies? Mind-blowing.

[The Thriller]

Meh.

Who cares?

I'd rather have him actually hit 2 three-pointers in a game and help the Jazz win against OKC.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

What, this is a travesty.
We have this great young team and should have had 5 players on this team.

Hayward, Favors, Kanter, Burks, and Jimmer should have all made it from the Jazz.

Stupid NBA.

Jeremy Evans got snubbed??

Suicide watch

I think most knew this already, there isn't a Fresh vs Soph game anymore it's Chuck's team vs. Shaq's team and they each drafted from a pool of players given to them.
Now I'm not sure who or how those pool of players were added or chosen to be on the list that Shaq an Chuch got to choose from and I definitely could be wrong maybe Chuck and Shaq had complete autonomy to choose any Fresh or Soph they wanted, but that's not how I understood it.

Players were picked by assistant coach ballots from every team. Chuck & Shaq had nothing to do with it.

Chuck & Shaq will pick their teams live on TNT next Thursday nite.

These 18 players are who they pick from, sandlot style. They had nothing to do with the 18 chosen.

 

[LjJazzman]

I'm setting the over/under on the hayward pick at 13.5.

Like what pick he will be number wise? I say 7-8.

So I was right and thanks as I said I didn't know how they got the list of players, so the blame goes to coaches and asst coaches.
