    i mean his box score wasn’t jumping out

  2. He’s not really entertaining to watch nor is he putting up any stats that would even have him considered as a rising star

  3. crametubbins

    AB is great but he’s only had like 2 big games

  4. ExtracurricularLoan

    Explains why Mac wasn’t in the g league game.

    Mosley fault started benchin AB for no reason. AB was starting for the #2 seed and now it looks like he is a DNP/bench player on a 9th seed.

    Couldn’t call it a snub, he only one he is close to numbers wise is Cason Wallace but they are still worse.

    Doesn’t mean I’m not excited about AB’s future though, he is already proven to be above average on the defensive end which is rare for a rookie.

    I didn’t like the pick initially, because I thought we needed contributors straight away (especially shooting/offensive end types).. I’ve learnt to accept that AB is essentially very raw and was picked based off long-term potential.. Hopefully he grows into a big future, but I’m not surprised that he isn’t lighting it up this season..

  8. As far as the rookie choices.. there’s no snub. He’s not playing better than anyone on that list. You can say he was left off though. Idc about g league players in this. I also learned from last year that this whole weekend is no longer enjoyable.

    Can’t be too shocked at this. I think in 5 years AB will be really good but right now he’s not there

  10. supbruhbruhLOL

    Does anyone remember if Franz got into the rising stars his rookie season?

  11. I noticed the great Scoot Henderson will be playing in his third rising stars game. Is this anything?
