Taurean Prince and John Collins will represent the Hawks on the U.S. team against an international team in the Rising Stars challenge. The showcase game during NBA All-Star weekend features 10-man rosters of rookies and second-year players. (Lonzo Ball and Malcolm Brogdon were selected for the U.S. team, but won’t play in the game because of injury.)
The Hawks selected Prince with the No. 12 pick in the 2016 draft and picked Collins 19th overall in 2017. Here’s a look at how they stack up against their fellow Rising Stars in several statistical categories this season.
