    looks like they may just hand the trophy to LaVine he appears to be the huge front runner with all the other contestants this year.

    I imagine the field to end up

    LaVine, Oladipo, Giannis, Mason

    Zach LaVine is an incredible dunker. Will be interesting to see if fans can give him credit or if his name will hold him back the way it did for Terrence Ross

    I like them keeping it to young guys trying to make a name for themselves.

    Wiggins declined to participate but that may be due to him wanting to make his debut next year when the All-Star Events are in Toronto.

    LaVine looks like the clear favorite here. Should be cool.

    Oladipo could steal it.
    Most likely though yeah, LaVine is going to probably win this thing.
