Just out of curiosity, I'm interested in who you guys would pick to represent both teams. 10 players from the last 2 years - USA vs. International. . .
Rising Stars Challenge Challenge: USA vs. World

Good choices.
I pick the world team to win simply due to Wiggins.
Put Wiggins on the usa team and I would pick them

US is really soft outside of the 1 and 2. Any chance that Hood gets a call up?

Do you think that World Team makes the playoffs in the Eastern Conference?

World team is freaking stacked with big guys TBH. Good ones will be left off the list. . .
World
Schroeder / Exum
Wiggins / Antetokounmpo / Caboclo
Gobert / Mirotic / Adams / Len / Nurkic
Missed the cut - Dieng, Antic, Bogdanovic, Jingles, Papanikolaou
USA
MCW / Payton / Burke
Oladipo / Muhammad / Hardaway Jr. / McDaniels
Plumlee / Noel / Olynyk
Missed the cut - Smart, LaVine, Stauskus, Covington, Zeller
Had a really hard time cutting Covington, but just couldnt justify putting 4 guys from Philly on the U.S. Team with how they're tanking. World team is huge, but has no shooting. U.S. Team is small and can shoot better, but will get roughed up inside. It'll be interesting to see who they actually go with. Would love to see Burke vs. Exum. Left Smart off the team because I want to see the Jazz guards go against each other SO badly. In the end, I see the Schroeder, Wiggins, Antetokounmpo, Mirotic and Gobert lineup as being too damn long and athletic for the U.S. Team to overcome.

Considering that the World team has three guys who look like potential franchise players (Gobert, Wiggins and Antetokounmpo). . . yeah. . . they'd probably make the playoffs. Not enough scoring to go anywhere though.
Hood is injured and won't be reevaluated until after the break.

Gobert is going to eat their souls.
