The NBA finally was able to attract a star again to its All-Star Weekend slam dunk contest last year in Boston's own Jaylen Brown.

Mac McClung who signed a two-way deal with the Orlando Magic this fall will attempt to capture his third crown, while the rest of the field will be composed of rookies Stephon Castle of the Spurs and Matas Buzelis of the Bulls, along with 2nd year Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr.
