The NBA annouced the rosters for the All-Star weekend Risings Stars game which is a collection of rookies and sophomore players divided into U.S. and World teams to play on Friday, Feb. 12 in Toronto.
Pacers big man, Myles Turner certainly fits the description of an NBA rising star which he's displayed with a productive outburst over the past five games, but the rook did not make the cut. Unfortunately, the break-out effort from Turner was too late to attract the attention of NBA assistant coaches who voted on the team, although I'm sure there are a few assistants from Denver, Phoenix, Golden State and Sacramento who wished they could change their ballot.
