    The rookies have won once in the last 9 years.(fixed) This year's rookies are very strong at PG, PF and C. The sophmores's best players are guards that need to dominate the ball. Sophmores will have a hard time matching up against the Rookie's frontcourt combo of Griffin and Cousins.

    Rookies
    Starters
    C Demarcus Cousins
    PF Blake Griffin
    SF Wesley Johnson
    SG Eric Bledsoe
    PG John Wall

    Reserves
    C Greg Monroe
    PF Derrick Favors
    SG Landry Fields
    PG Gary Neal

    Sophmores
    Starters
    C DeJuan Blair
    PF Taj Gibson
    SF DeMar DeRozan *
    SG Tyreke Evans
    PG Stephen Curry

    Reserves
    C Serge Ibaka
    SG Wesley Matthews
    PG Brandon Jennings
    PG Jrue Holiday

    *DeRozan is listed as a SG, but there was no SF in the lineup. DeRozan was the tallest, so he made the SF spot by default.

    Rookies a lil too loaded in the frontcourt...Those bricks Evans will throw up will ignite fast breaks for the Rookies...Even without Blake its still gonna be showtime

    Will Griffin play in this and the All Star game? I feel like the Clippers wouldn't let that happen.

    If Blake plays, Rookies, if Blake doesn't, Sophomores.

    If Griffin plays, the rookies will win. If he doesn't they won't.

    Easy as pie.

    Sophomores will win. Blake is playing in the all-star game.

    The one player that might drag the sophomores down is Evans. If he doesn't hog the ball, sophores should win this even if Griffin is playing. Blair is enough to dominate both Cousins and Griffin by himself, and Gibson is no slouch either.

    Guard play will win a playground game like this. The Sophmores have superior guards and will win like they did as Rookies last year. Hell Westbrook scored 40 for the sophmores, but Evans, Jennings, Curry and Harden (all over 20+) were too much.

    Of course, had Rose played for the sophmores...

    I'd bet money on the Sophmores. Rookies (despite Blake), don't have a chance. Guard play wins.
