The list of the top rookies and sophomores set to play in the 2008 Rookie Challenge during All-Star weekend was released today and no Timberwolves players made the cut.
NBA.com has the complete lineup.
Smith was hoping he would be voted to the sophomore team after being
left off last season as a rookie. He has averages of 9.8 points and 4.7
rebounds (in just 20.8 minutes) this season. Looks like Smith might
have a beef. This year’s sophomore team includes Toronto F Andrea
Bargnani, who is averaging fewer points (8.9) and rebounds (3.6) than
Smith in more minutes (22.5). No doubt Smith’s bid was hurt by the
Wolves’ poor record.
