    @JasonCFriedman: Big congrats to @TerrenceJones1 who will compete in Rising Stars Challenge All-Star wknd. Averaging 11.5 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 1.5 bpg. PER of 18.6.

    @Jonathan_Feigen: Game will reunite TJones with Kentucky teammate Anthony Davis, who might make WC All Stars. Not bad grouip w/ Lillard, another AS candidate.

    Joining Davis and Lillard among sophomores selected to participate are the Golden State Warriors’ Harrison Barnes, the Washington Wizards’ Bradley Beal, the Detroit Pistons’ Andre Drummond, the Houston Rockets’ Terrence Jones, the Boston Celtics’ Jared Sullinger, the Toronto Raptors’ Jonas Valanciunas and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Dion Waiters.
    Carter-Williams is joined in the player pool by fellow rookies Steven Adams of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Atlanta Hawks’ Pero Antic, the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Utah Jazz’s Trey Burke, the New York Knicks’ Tim Hardaway, Jr., the Orlando Magic’s Victor Oladipo, the Boston Celtics’ Kelly Olynyk, and the Brooklyn Nets’ Mason Plumlee.

    Following the announcement of each team on Feb. 6, fans will be able to vote online from both their computer and mobile device for the starters of each team. The starting lineups will be determined by the players garnering the top votes for their respective positions, with two backcourt and three frontcourt spots for each team. The announcement of the starting lineup will be made in broadcast and in-arena on the night of the game.

    Not surprising. Fourth best player from that draft so far.

    Congrats to TJones. It would be an entertaining game if they really played a game instead of just joking around on the court for two hours.

    TJones is given, but really? No our starting PG Bev?

    Davis/Drummond/Valanciunas/Barnes/Lillard are veritable locks; barring a miracle, it looks like TJones won't start

    Can you be in the Rising Stars challenge and the All-Star game, or no? I'm mainly curious as to whether Lillard is precluded from replacing Kobe since he's named to the RSC.
