Isiah Thomas used the No. 1 pick on Edwards to kick off a snake draft that also included fellow Hall of Famers Rick Barry, Gary Payton, and James Worthy, who are serving as honorary coaches.

Barry selected Cleveland Cavaliers rookie center Evan Mobley second overall. Payton chose second-year Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball third, and Worthy took second-year Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony fourth.

The Rising Stars event will feature four teams in a miniature tournament: Team Isiah will play Team Worthy in one semifinal, Team Barry and Team Payton will face off in the other and the winners will play one another in the final. The semifinal games will be first to 50 points, and the final will be first to 25.

The player pool was made up of 24 players in their first or second year in the NBA, plus four players from the NBA G League Ignite team who made up the seventh and final round of the draft. The full rosters are listed below:
