Oden & Fernandez named to All-Star rookie challenge

Rudy Fernandez will have himself a busy All-Star weekend in Phoenix. In addition to competing participating in the Dunk Contest, Rudy has been named to the Rookie squad that will take on the sophomores. The improving Greg Oden will join him.

Looking at that Rookie team roster really shows how deep the talent of the newest NBA cohort goes. Usually this team ends up with a couple garbage throw-ins to fill things out, but this year there are actually more good rookies than roster spots. The sophomore team is solid as well. Could this game turn out to be *gasp* watchable?
