DeMar DeRozan despite being a starter for the Toronto Raptors since the start of the season, has been ominously and surprisingly left of the rookie team roster.

This is the same DeMar DeRozan, that is going to win the dunk-in, and the dunk-off, and they did not even think to invite him to the game??

The rookie roster will include: Johnny Flynn, Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings, DeJuan Blair, Jonas Jerebko, Omar Casspi, James Harden and Taj Gibson.

Gibson played well in Tyrus Thomas`absecnce but there is no way he deserves to be in the rookie challenge over DeMar DeRozan.  Hopefully DeMar uses this snub to add a little chip to his shoulder, he needs some swag and that killer instinct to take his game to the next level; hopefully this snub is the catalyst.
