This contest features a format that pits the United States’ rising stars against those from the rest of the world. Leading Team World is Luka Doncic, who has captured the attention of the entire league as the point guard of the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic is joined most notably by DeAndre Ayton of the Phoenix Suns and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the ball distribution skills of Doncic and RJ Barrett being ideal for an exhibition game like this, Team World should get plenty of open looks.
Team USA has firepower all over the court as well since they are led by the fearsome trio of Trae Young, Ja Morant, and Zion Williamson. Young was selected as a member of the Rising Stars team, along with being named as a reserve for the All-Star Game. Meanwhile, Morant and Williamson have lived up to the hype of being the top two picks in last year’s NBA Draft, as they have looked like stars for their respective teams through the first half of the season.
