Donovan Mitchell won't be the only member of the Cavs representing Cleveland in Utah on All-Star weekend. Sophomore forward Evan Mobley has also been chosen to participate in this year's Rising Stars Game.

This isn't the first time that Mobley has participated in All-Star weekend, even though it's just his second year in the NBA. Last year the All-Star game took place in Cleveland, Ohio and the Cavs had a team of three participants in the skills challenge. This team included Mobley, Jarrett Allen, and Darius Garland. 

This team actually went on to win the competition!

Mobley joins a stacked roster of young talent in the NBA that will be showcased in this game. The NBA players are: 

  • Paolo Banchero
  • Jalen Duren
  • AJ Griffin
  • Jaden Ivey
  • Walker Kessler
  • Benedict Mathurin
  • Keegan Murray
  • Andrew Nembhard
  • Jabari Smith Jr.
  • Jermy Sochan
  • Jalen William
  • Jose Alvarado
  • Scottie Barnes
  • Josh Giddey
  • Jalen Green
  • Quentin Grimes
  • Bones Hyland
  • Trey Murphy III
  • Alperen Sengun
  • Franz Wagner

This game will also feature some of the G League's brightest talent as well which is a great opportunity for them to get their name out there.

  • Scoot Henderson
  • Sidy Cissoko
  • Mojave King
  • Kenneth Lofton Jr.
  • Leonard Miller
  • Mac McClung
  • Scotty Pippen Jr.

The Rising Stars Game has always been one of my favorite events of the weekend. It's always a joy to watch these young NBA players have fun in a low-pressure event. There's so much weight on their shoulders and to give them an opportunity to just go play basketball makes it enjoyable to watch.
