Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans lead a list of 18 players selected for the 2010 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam to be held on Friday, Feb. 12 in Dallas during NBA All-Star 2010.

The participants in the Rookie Challenge were selected by the NBA’s assistant coaches, with each team submitting one ballot.

Joining Rose on the Sophomore team are Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley, Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Kevin Love, New Jersey Nets center Brook Lopez, New York Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, and a pair of teammates from the Memphis Grizzlies – center Marc Gasol and guard O.J. Mayo.

Forward Omri Casspi, Evans’ teammate in Sacramento, joins him on the Rookie team, which also includes Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson, Detroit Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jonny Flynn, Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden, and San Antonio forward/center DeJuan Blair.

That sophomore team has some size. Imagine if they put out a starting frontcourt of Lopez, Gallinari and Gasol. Even if they substituted Gallinari with Beasley, they still have some serious size. The freshman backcourt looks pretty good tho.

I would rather have him stay in NY and rest, to be honest.

I am worried about the peer pressure he will face. You know he is going to get introduced to weed by Beasley and as one of the nation's most eligible bachelors he is going to be chased by the kind of women who brought down Tiger Woods. Hell, Gallo even missed the rookie orientation last year that prepares him for this kind of thing!

Hope his dad makes the trip with him.

He got enough rest as a rookie...

That sophmore team is amazing. Guys like Thompson, Hibbert, Bayless, CDR, Lee are amazing players already and they don't deserve a spot over any of those guys.
