Rosters for the 2015 NBA D-League All-Star Game were announced yesterday, with Bryce Cotton (Austin) and JaMychal Green (Austin/Memphis Grizzlies) both making the cut for the Western Conference.
Twenty of the D-League’s top prospects will make up the D-League All-Star teams, with 13 of the players already having NBA experience, JaMychal Green included.
Green has had a spectacular season averaging 23 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 blocks and one steal in 20 games, all starts, for the Austin Spurs. Green’s development has resulted in two different NBA 10-day contracts, most recently with the San Antonio Spurs and currently with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Meanwhile, Cotton is having a tremendous rookie campaign averaging 21.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals, all while shooting 46% from the field and a blistering 41% from the three point line. The undrafted rookie out of Providence was picked up by the San Antonio Spurs and played for the silver and black during Summer League and Training Camp, before being sent to Austin. But Cotton’s rapid development has him climbing up the Prospect Watch rankings, and the D-League All-Star Game will be another great forum to showcase his talents for NBA teams in need of a point guard.
The 2015 NBA D-League All-Star game will take place at the Barclays Center on Sunday, February 15th. Tipoff is at 2:30 p.m. ET and will air live on NBA TV.
