All-Star Saturday at the Intuit Dome features the State Farm 3-Point Contest, Kia Shooting Stars and AT&T Slam Dunk. Edgecombe powered Team Vince to Castrol Rising Stars MVP and the title, capping a night of high-flying action, with other All-Star Weekend news including CP3’s retirement.
Four Rising Stars teams were formed for 2026 by NBA legends Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady. Cooper Flagg of the Dallas Mavericks was the top pick, with Kon Knueppel (Hornets) and V.J. Edgecombe (Sixers) also among notable G League selections. Flagg is posting strong numbers (18.8 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 4.1 APG, 1.3 SPG), while Knueppel (18.7 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 42.2% 3PT) and Edgecombe (15.4 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.1 APG, 36.4% 3PT) have the Hornets and 76ers looking to capitalize on their development in the event.
ESPN mock drafts predict Cooper Flagg as the first overall pick to the Mavericks, with Dylan Harper going second to the Spurs. The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to select VJ Edgecombe at third, while Ace Bailey, once a top contender for the third spot, is projected to be picked sixth by the Wizards. The draft is shaping up with key prospects and potential trades.
