NBA All-Star Weekend is almost here, and the mid-season break always tips off with the Rising Stars Challenge.
The first event of All-Star Weekend will give the fans a chance to see some of the most talented young rookies, sophomores, and G Leaguers on display.
Two years back, the Rising Stars Game adopted a new format, playing a single-elimination tournament between four teams drafted by NBA legends.
This year’s teams will be drafted and coached by two-time NBA champion Pau Gasol, 10-time All-Star and former WNBA MVP Tamika Catchings, and former Pacers star Jalen Rose. Pacers legend Detlef Schrempf will coach the team composed of strictly G League players.
Gasol, Catchings, and Rose took turns selecting in a snake draft format from a player pool of rookies and sophomores. Below, you can find the full draft order, along with the four teams competing in this year’s Rising Stars Game.
