Rookies vs. Sophs, Part Uno

Since I have picked the players to represent each conference in the 2009 All-Star Game, why not pick the stars of tommorrow who should be in the Rookies vs. Sophomores game. So without further ado....

Sophomores- Captain Kevin Durant

PG: Ramon Sessions-You might be thinking...who? He may be the Midwest's best kept secret. Off the bench, he is averaging 11 pts, 3 rebs, and 5 asts. Not bad for the 56th pick

SG:Rodney Stuckey-Yeah! Even though this may be bias, he was the best player in the conference a week ago. 14 pts, 3 rebs, and 5 asts, and a ton of energy to start each game

SF: Kevin Durant-He is their captain, even if he didn't win R.O.Y. He is scoring almost 24 points per game right now and finally starting to rebound, grabbing 6 boards. Even though the team is in the pits, everybody in OKC loves him

PF: Al Horford-He could be the co-captain. By far, the strongest post player drafted in 2007. He is currently putting up about 11 and 9 each night, and that's all the Hawks have needed.

C: Spencer Hawes- He was drafted purely on potential. Now it doesn't look like a bad choice. Maybe he can be Kevin Martin's partner in crime for years to come

Bench:

Aaron Brooks-Oddly, the second best point guard so far that comes out of this draft class. He has been important to the success of the Rockets, especially when Rafer is unreliable....which is like all the time

Wilson Chandler-You know, if the Knicks didn't make stupid trades and sign scrubs to huge contracts (yeah you, Jerome James), they might have a good team. Chandler was a good pick, and is now scoring about 15 points per. Is he the next Boris Diaw?

Al Thornton-Who needs Elton Brand. Wait, the Clippers suck now? Apparently they still do. But it is no fault of Thornton. He cashing in on Baron's dimes, scoring almost 17 per

Luis Scola-No, he wasn't drafted in 07, but he did start playing then. 12 points, 8 rebounds, and generally keeping the Rockets above water when all their stars are hurt isn't bad for this guy. At times, he looks like the best player on the team

Yi Jianlian-He is still a bit of a dissapointment, but he is scoring in double digits now. There weren't a bunch of good big men in this draft

Jeff Green-Do fans still wish they had Ray Allen instead? Probably. Will they complain about 16 points a game? No

Thaddeus Young-Last year he was a big part of the Sixers playoff surge. He's still playin well this year, but the Sixers are just chillin

Just missed the cut: Nick Young

Tomorrow: Rookies
