It's NBA All-Star Weekend, but not all the stars will shine equally. To highlight the best and worst performances all weekend long, we'll be grading the participants in every event from the Rising Stars on Friday through Sunday's All-Star Game.
For a second consecutive year, the Rising Stars event featured four teams competing in a three-game mini-tournament utilizing Elam ending target scores. The 21 NBA players in the competition were drafted by honorary coaches Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah and Deron Williams, with No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic as the first selection.
