Rising Stars Represent Much More Than Game
"It's exciting for our franchise," explained head coach Dave Joerger. "It just tells you that hopefully in a couple years, those guys will be All-Stars."
Sactown has three entrants in the Rising Stars Challenge, which showcases first and second year players during All-Star Weekend.
De'Aaron Fox, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Marvin Bagley III will represent the Kings, the most of any team.
"I feel like I'm playing this game for 10 years," said Bogi, last season's Rising Stars MVP. "It's okay. It's fun to be there at All-Star Weekend."
While No. 8 knows what the experience will be like, No. 35 is making his debut at the mid-season festivities.
