Sadly, Rudy Gobert did not make it. DeAndre Jordan, Marc Gasol, DeMarcus Cousins, and Draymond Green made it as Western bigmen. (Other reserves were Klay Thompson and Russell Westbrook.)
Hayward will be joined in New Orleans by Dante Exum and Trey Lyles — who will be participating in the BBVA Rising Stars challenge for the ‘World team’.
