NEW YORK — With the first pick of the 2014 BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge draft, TEAM WEBBER selected Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans while TEAM HILL picked Damian Lillard
of the Portland Trail Blazers second overall. TNT’s Hill and NBA TV’s Webber, general managers for the 2014 BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge, made their player selections live on TNT. The 2014
BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge will be played Friday, Feb. 14, in Smoothie King Center during NBA All-Star 2014. The head coaches for both teams are the lead assistant coaches from the 2014 NBA
All-Star Game coaching staffs. The Indiana Pacers Nate McMillan will lead TEAM HILL and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Rex Kalamian will man the sidelines for TEAM WEBBER.
As always this game will be a high scoring affair and of course will be a very exciting game to watch. This will give a close look at the NBA All-Stars of tomorrow and will get us excited for how high their ceiling is. Hopefully, Barnes shows all of America that he is a good player and that he was just in a slump.
