Title: NBA Rookie Challenge: Rookies vs. Sophmores...Who will win?
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on February 05, 2006, 06:26:12 PM
Rookies:[/b]
PG Chris Paul...Nate Robinson
SG Sarunas Jasikevicius...Deron Williams
SF Danny Granger...Luther Head
PF Channing Frye...Charlie Villanueva
C Andrew Bogut

Coach: Del Harris

   
Sophmores:[/u]
PG TJ Ford...Jameer Nelson
SG Ben Gordon...Devin Harris
SF Andre Iguodala...Andres Nocioni
PF Luol Deng
C Dwight Howard...Nenad Kristic

Coach: Sidney Lowe

*Emeka Okafor will not participate due to injury


Competition is close this year, but I give the slight edge to the sophmores, mostly because they have Dwight Howard...I'm not doubting the rookies at all though, nor am I counting 'em out. Sucks that they didn't include Andrew Bynum, but the NBA'll realize what they passed on in the near future...Woulda been nice to see Sasha Vujacic on the sophmore squad as well, but it's not a surprise that he wasn't selected...So what do ya'll think about this years game? Who will win it?

It's a real close one to call IMO. The rookies have some good talent on that team but I think the Sophmores have the edge with Howard, Gordon & Igoudala

I think the sophomores will take it.  It is close, I think if Okafor had been playing it wouldn't be so close though.  Overall the sophomores just have the better team but the rookies do have some nice players.

stop being a smartass and acknowledge that even those superrookies from 2003 got physically ethered.

although this year's rookie squad might have a chance cause chris paul is the most gangsta PG ever, and PGs are important in games in which nobody knows wtf the other fucker is doin cause they never played together

WTF? I was only pointing out a fact...What you said simply wasn't true. The sophmores almost always kick the rookie's asses.

Well, Chris Paul would keep the west in it IMO. Although the east does have an advantage when it comes to big men. I think Bynum would shine in a game like this though...Give him his minutes, and I bet he can outplay Andrew Bogut even. I think the west would stand a chance, though the east does have the edge...It'd definitely be more entertaining than rookies vs. sophmores...PeACe

The sophmores took it, once again...Surprisingly, Dwight Howard was the least involved...Andre Iguodala made a name for himself in this game...But the rookies kept it close and even made a come-back, which is always a good thing...

The actual all-star game was aiight...Sloppy in the beginning, but it picked up in the second half and the east came back from 21 down, mostly due to the Detroit Pistons chemistry (Flip had inserted his 4 Piston starters at once for quite a while). Download it only if you're a big NBA fan...
