A bit of a stab in the dark here but I’ll roll with the new kids.
And when it comes down to the halfcourt shot, something tells me that Josh Giddey has mastered that in his off time. I like their trio of players and the little bit of everything that each rookie brings to the table.
The event also requires a ton of skill, hence the title, and Team Rooks has that. In that case, look for the Antetokounmpos (who knows each other better than brothers?) and Team Cavs to have a slight edge. But the event format makes it seem as though teamwork and group collaboration is key. What to watch for: This isn’t the skills challenge that we’ve grown accustomed to. The relay is similar in format to what the individual skills challenge involved in previous years with a mix of passing, dribbling and shooting.Īfter those three rounds, the two teams with the most points will advance to the final round, which is a race to make a half-court shot. In the passing game, the teams will have to hit passes into oversized, moving targets to score points. In the shooting game, each player will shoot from five different spots on the court to score as many points as they can in 30 seconds. Team Rooks (-130): Scottie Barnes, Cade Cunningham, Josh Giddeyįormat: Each of the three teams will compete in three rounds: shooting, passing and a relay. Team Antetokounmpos (+375): Alex Antetokounmpo, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thanasis Antetokounmpo Team Cavs (+200): Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley
