It's happening - both Josh Giddey and Dyson Daniels have been selected to the NBA All Star Rising Stars challenge.

I don't understand the new rules on this. So it's rookies and G league players now?
Either way it's a fair wrap for both
Including the Ignite kids is just another carrot for them to bypass overseas leagues.

12 rookies, 12 sophomores and 4 Ignite players divided into 4 teams of 7 and playing a mini tournament. There's also some other weird mini tournament within there that might be 2 on 2 or something. Its all a bit convoluted but seeing Daniels get in I'm happy to see how it turns out

Fair Aussie rep too. Aside from Giddey and Daniels, Ball & Tate in there as well, former NBL'ers.
Good advertising for our league/country.

Giddey and daniels are both products of the nba academy, the nbl had absolutely fuck all to do with their development lol. And lamelo prolly came here just to increase his draft position by dominating a shit league. So no, no advertising at all.

I think NBL is such a good Avenue for prospective NBA stars.
A little disappointed Daniels didn't take it. But he has to do what's best for him.
Playing in the rising stars game is definitely a huge incentive for the young kids. Lucky there's only 4 spots.
I still think NBL is a great Avenue for young stars.
