When we thought it was nothing more than a memory, the trio comes right back into our lives, one last time (until next All-Star weekend.) John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, and Eric Bledsoe will play on the same team tonight in the
2011 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge. The three Draft Cats will be joined by "The Poster Boy" Blake Griffin and five other rookies in a friendly competition against nine sophomores who are favored by 6.5 points. Although the NBA will never admit it, I've heard Patrick Patterson was left off the roster so he could attend the South Carolina game tomorrow. The NBA cares.
