The game, which will be played on Friday, Feb. 14, in New Orleans as part of All-Star Weekend, is in its third season with first- and second-year players playing together. That's a good thing for this rookie class, considering its challenges this season. Several players, including No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett, have performed well below initial expectations.
Many of the rookies who have played well will be on the court when the game is televised on TNT at 9 p.m. Victor Oladipo, Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway, Jr. are among those. Here is a look at the full list of players below:
