The BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge at NBA All-Star 2015 in New York City will feature a new format that pits first- and second-year NBA players from the United States against first- and second-year NBA players from around the world....

... The league's assistant coaches will select 10 U.S. players and 10 international players for the game, with one ballot for each of the NBA's 30 teams. Both 10-man rosters will include four guards, four frontcourt players and two players regardless of position. Each team will also feature a minimum of three first-year players and three second-year players among its 10 spots.

The head coaches for each team will be an assistant from the 2015 NBA All-Star Game coaching staffs. The Eastern Conference and Western Conference All-Star Game coaches will be determined by the best record in the conference through games played on Sunday, Feb. 1.

So Rudy, Wiggins and Greek Freak against Trey and Smart. Seems legit.

Nice! I like this A LOT. I think the players may actually give a damn. Maybe not like it's the playoffs but more than they've cared in the past.

Good. I want Rudy to start recruiting those two for a big hookup in Utah down the road.

"Quin Snyder rules."
"You'll love the weather."
"Dante's gonna blow **** up."
"Mormon girls are hot and do stuff that you can't even believe (after you marry them of course.)"

Whatever it takes. Start working it right now. Need to get another star player somehow.

Any way Exum doesn't make it with this format?

I hope he makes it. I don't see why he couldn't come off the bench.

Format should make it easier for him to make it.

Mirotic for sure. Wiggins will win, but Nico has to be in the Rookie of the Year conversation.

I really hope Dante gets picked as well. I'd love to see how he performs in a loose environment where he can just run, play and have fun. I think that playing with Rudy and kicking some *** would boost his confidence going into the home stretch. Plus, that lineup of internationals looks like a damn fun group.

I really like the USA vs the world concept. Too bad guys like Parker and Gordon are injured. Interested to see how many USA rookies get invited.
