Wtf.

How in the hell did those two make the rising stars challenge?

The last few rookie/sophomore classes have been pretty bad.. Idk who else they would put in over these two. Maybe this will help give Dante some confidence.

Slim pickings for international players is the only reason Exum made it. Not because he deserves it.

By being Canadian and Australian.

Obviously not a lot of good young international players in NBA.

jokic, embiid, porzingis, wiggins. they could all be stars at some point.

I wasn't throwing shade at the top end. But when one player who has barely an hour's worth of accumulated court time in the past month, and another player who has shot enough bricks this season to build Trump's wall BOTH get selected, you have to wonder who the alternatives were.
