Celtics' rookie forward Jared Sullinger was not named to the rookie roster as part of the Rising Stars Challenge at the NBA's All-Star Weekend.
Sullinger, who was inserted into the starting lineup on Sunday for the time being, is averaging 6.1 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in 44 games this season.
Sullinger has the highest rebounding rate among rookie power forwards, and his plus/minus was tops among all rookies in the month of January.
In other words, Sully was snubbed. Big time.
If you play for Doc Rivers as a rookie let alone START for Doc Rivers as a rookie.....you belong in the Rookie All Star Game!
