Who will win the Rising Stars Challenge?
Michael Pina: I don't want to overthink this extremely serious exercise and pick against Team Barry (which has Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley and Franz Wagner on it), but Team Payton is stocked with able, selfless defenders (Ayo Dosunmu, Jonathan Kuminga and future DPOY Jaden McDaniels) who can all accentuate LaMelo Ball's ingenious playmaking. Plus, Scottie Barnes is here. Team Payton all the way.
