Clorox Rising Stars rosters set after 4-team draft

The NBA announced the Clorox Rising Stars challenge rosters after undergoing a four-team draft, coached and headlined by captains and NBA legends - Jon Barry, Gary Payton, Isiah Thomas and James Worthy.

Here is the official release from the NBA:

"The 2022 Clorox Rising Stars rosters have been announced following a player pool draft conducted by 75th Anniversary Team members and Rising Stars coaches Jon Barry, Gary Payton, Isiah Thomas and James Worthy. The 2022 All-Star Weekend event will be highlighted by some of the league’s best young talent, including leading Kia Rookie of the Year candidates Evan Mobley and Cade Cunningham and sophomore stars LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards.

In a new format, 28 players — comprising 12 rookies, 12 sophomores and four members of the NBA G League Ignite developmental squad; see roster below — were drafted onto four teams to compete in three games on Friday, Feb. 18 (9 p.m. ET, TNT).

Each game will be played to a Final Target Score, ending with a made basket or free throw instead of with the clock running out. It will be a “Race to 75” to celebrate the league’s 75th anniversary season — Games 1 and 2 will be played until a team reaches 50 points; Game 3 will be played until a team reaches 25 points."

Tournament Bracket

    Game 1: Team A vs. Team B
    Game 2: Team C vs. Team D
    Game 3: Winner of Game 1 vs. Winner of Game 2

"In addition, a timed shooting competition called the Clorox Clutch Challenge will take place between Games 2 and 3 of Clorox Rising Stars. A total of eight NBA and NBA G League Ignite players will be divided into four teams of two and compete to make shots from five locations on the court tied to iconic shots made in the NBA Playoffs.

• Teams will break down as follows:

— Desmond Bane/Tyrese Haliburton
— Scottie Barnes/Chris Duarte
— Josh Giddey/Evan Mobley
— Michael Foster Jr./Fanbo Zeng (G League Ignite)

• Each team will compete with one shared ball and its players must alternate shots so no player shoots two times consecutively. Team 1 is given 1 minute and 30 seconds (1:30 counting down) to make a shot from each of the five locations in any order. Team 1’s time is then the marker for Team 2. If Team 1’s time is 1:15, then Team 2 will have a 1:15 countdown clock to complete the competition. Each team that establishes a new standard sets the clock for the next team competing, and the fastest finisher will win the Clorox Clutch Challenge."
