Chandler has a pretty nice piece at the Tribune. Elite Bigs 101. The Player's Tribune is one of the most respectable NBA sites out there.
Stuff like that is what makes me go back and forth on trading him.

Booker did not get chosen for the Rising Stars challenge. Mainly due to the fact that it's U.S. versus World or whatever now. There was no room on the US roster...

That is an F'n joke. There are less than a handful of players on there that you could convince me are better or going to be better than Booker.

That is ridiculous. Russell and Clarkson? That's just laker-bias there.

They are trying to attract and audience. The 15 Suns fans that might tune into the game doesn't help them much.

How do they pick the teams? Jersey sales?

Russell isn't the problem, he deserves to be there. He's not playing as well as people thought, but he's putting up 12/3/3 on ok shooting numbers for a rookie .41/.33/.67. I think Marcus smart is the one who stole bookers spot.
Although the real problem is the last half of that world team. Hezonja, Neto, Powell, Mudiay? None of those guys should be on the team.

What a bunch of bullshit. Booker absolutely deserves to be on that team. Oh well; it doesn't really count for anything or matter in any material way. If anything maybe it'll piss him off a little and motivate him to play hard and improve.

Or maybe he'll say he's he victim of a slap in the face, feel sorry for himself and become worthless on the court.
Nah, he's a professional. Nobody would act that way.

Per 36 numbers for the US team, I didn't include Noel, Okafor or Towns
Pts/Reb/Ast FG/3Pt/Ft
A 16.3/4.9/4.4 .42/.33/.67
B 12.0/6.0/4.2 .35/.22/.70
C 13.8/3.2/2.6 .42/.36/.88
D 18.7/4.8/5.0 .42/.33/.84
E 17.0/4.3/2.8 .44/.33/.76
F 13.6/4.3/7.1 .43/.36/.62
G 14.7/5.9/1.9 .49/.00/.79
H 16.1/3.2/2.3 .47/.42/.80
B,C,G are the weakest IMO
A - D'Angelo Russell
B - Marcus Smart
C - Rodney Hood
D - Zach Lavine
E - Jordan Clarkson
F - Elfrid Payton
G - Jabari Parker
H - Devin Booker

I would guess Zo Brown won't be sticking around. Sorry, T.J.

“It’s not really a big deal to me,” Booker said. “My respect comes from all the players that I’ve played against, people that are in the game who say I should be in it. There are some other players who I think should be in the game. It’s kind of a messed-up format but, at the end of the day, I’ve got to get better. We’ll see in the long run.”
...
“I’ll just make them pay in the end,” Booker said.

Zo's fate was sealed when he passed to teammates and tried to run an offense. There is no room for someone like that on this team.
