The NBA Rising Stars Game is on Friday at 9 p.m. Eastern, which is a Team USA and Team World exhibition consisting of rookies and sophomores, where both teams have 10 players, of which Cleveland Cavaliers second-year guard Collin Sexton was one of them.
Those 10 players were selected by NBA assistant coaches, and of the 10, four are frontcourt players, four are backcourt players and two are “wild cards,” if you will, meaning they could be from either position group.
In Sexton’s case, he was initially not one of the players selected to be in the exhibition, which was a joke, if you ask me, but I’m glad he ultimately will have his opportunity to represent the Cavaliers.
