    I hope so. Considering his playing time, it would be difficult.

    I'm trying to figure out why Conley deserves to be there. He has been hurt most of the season and is out again with another injury.

    Maybe he can't go and they can put Brooks in there.

    My guess is that if some Rookie guard drops out due to injury, Brooks should be next in line and he would light everyone up if he gets to play!

    I thought Brooks and Landry were supposed to be at the All Star game.

    I'm kinda laughing at the fact that there are really only two guards on that team. I mean, Moon can kinda play some off-guard, I guess... but Conley and Navarro may get a lot of minutes when game time rolls around.

    Durant will probably have to play some 2 in the game, too.

    Conley has been playing better then Brooks btw, if you look at the last month where he STARTED.

    Im impressed by the state of the game, look at the Rookies and the internationals in it.

    Spain
    China
    Argentina

    Not to mention Barganai who is Italy in the Sopomores

    Anyone think that the Rookie team should be coached by a Rookie coach, and the Sophomore team should be coached by a Sophomore coach.

    there is no way those two would have made it

    there are many guards in front of Brooks, Conley and Navarro comes to mind already. Carl would have had to beat Scola himself and Yi. Not going to happen

    I think the Rookies might have a chance this year. I can definitely see Durant and or Scola going off and winning the MVP. The Rooks bring a lot of international experience with Scola, Navarro and Yi add to the fact that this will be an up and down loosely reffed game. Scola FTW!!!!!!!!

    If Roy plays then they have no chance
    IF Gay decides to go off they definetly have no chance
