Durant, Green and Westbrook all to participate in Rookie Challenge

Since we all know Kevin Durant is going to get the big-boy snub, at least he gets to do something in Phoenix. And he’ll be bringing along some friends.

From NBA.com today:

“Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant, the reigning T-Mobile Rookie of the Year, and Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose, the first overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, lead a list of 18 players selected for the 2009 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam to be held on Friday, Feb. 13 in Phoenix during NBA All-Star 2009.”

And here’s the complete rosters for the Rookie/Sophomore game:

That rookie roster is pretty stacked, but a lineup of Stuckey, Durant, Thornton, Scola and Horford will be tough. Thoughts?
