For the first time in the NBA All Star Game we will have a game of US vs the rest of the world, even in the Rising Stars challenge. As it was officially announced the first and second-year NBA players will be divided by continents.
The league’s assistant coaches will select 10 US players and 10 international players for the game, with one ballot for each of the NBA’s 30 teams. Both 10-man rosters will include four guards, four frontcourt players and two players regardless of position. Each team will also feature a minimum of three first-year players and three second-year players among its 10 spots.
The head coaches for each team will be an assistant from the 2015 NBA All-Star Game coaching staffs. The Eastern Conference and Western Conference All-Star Game coaches will be determined by the best record in the conference through games played on Sunday, February 1st.
UPDATE: Here’s the list of the two teams of the Rising Stars game.
