Really looking forward to the Rising Stars game. Will be an opportunity to see what Russ looks like with competent bigs and without B0ron for the first time since college. I want to see him running with Towns, maybe Okafor, Lavine for some alley-oops. 3 point contest looks good again, Steph vs Klay. Dunk contest lineup is good other than Drummond, never understand 7 footers in this thing.
Butler is going to miss the game with injury (out 3-4 weeks). Really unfortunate with how he's blown up and that's his team now. I think Pau should be his replacement, he's had a phenomenal year and would be nice to see he and Kobe face off once more.
Pau has had an incredible year and I agree with him taking Jimmy's spot. The other night Pau led the Bulls in almost every stat category.
Looks like their pool was made up of players who were already going to be there (Booker in the 3pt contest) due to the late notice.
