So many choices, so few spots.(NBA)

Warriors guard Mickael Pietrus would like your vote. Assuming you're an NBA coach or assistant, that is. That's who will choose the nine-player rosters for the Rookies vs. Sophomores sideshow during All-Star weekend in Denver, and Pietrus is not afraid to do a little campaigning. "I would love to go," he says. "I would love to represent the Warriors and have a chance to show people what I can do."

But Pietrus, a great athlete who has flashed his potential throughout this season, averaging 9.3 points and playing solid defense, knows he has a problem when it comes to landing on the sophomore roster. "My draft class," he says. "It was a pretty tough draft class. So many of those guys, they're so good."

In fact, last year's rookies could go down as one of the all-time great crops of new players--and that makes picking the sophomore team a difficult task.

Sure bets

G Dwyane Wade, Heat. An incredible scorer and passer who has bumped up his overall play in Year 2.

G Kirk Hinrich, Bulls. Averaging 16.9 points, 8.6 assists and shooting 45.2 percent in January, he has become the surging Bulls' go-to guy.

F LeBron James, Cavaliers. On his way to becoming the best player in the game.
