Desmond Bane is on one of the strongest rosters in the Rising Stars game

The former TCU product will be teaming up with some excellent players, including former No. 1 draft pick Anthony Edwards, recently traded Tyrese Haliburton and former Memphis Tiger Precious Achiuwa.

Team Isiah

Precious Achiuwa
Desmond Bane
Saddiq Bey
Anthony Edwards
Tyrese Haliburton
Jaden Hardy
Isaiah Stewart

With only seven players on the team, which five will get the starting nod? My guess is a Isiah Thomas will use Tyrese Haliburton, Anthony Edwards, Desmond Bane, Saddiq Bey and Precious Achiuwa as his starting five. He should bring G-League Ignite player Jaden Hardy and Isaiah Stewart off the bench.

Team Isiah will face Team Worthy for the right to advance and play the winner of Team Barry vs Team Payton. The format to win the Rising Stars game is simple: the first team to score 50 will move on. The two winners will play to a target score of 25.

Here’s who Bane and the rest of Team Isiah will be facing when they tip-off against James Worthy’s team:

Team Worthy

Cole Anthony
MarJon Beauchamp
Josh Giddey
Jalen Green
Herb Jones
Tyrese Maxey
Jalen Suggs

Some exciting match-ups here including Haliburton vs Giddey, Edwards vs Green, Bane vs Suggs and Maxey vs Anthony.
