Damian Lillard was one of nine rookies selected to play in this year's Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star weekend.
Lillard, the current frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year award, was a no-brainer. He'll be joined by fellow first-year players Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Alexey Shved, Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller. The rookies and sophomores, led by All-Star PG Kyrie Irving, will be mixed together and drafted into two teams by TNT analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal.
