This year, the rosters are mixed with first- and second-year players, allowing Burke (Utah), Hardaway Jr. (New York), Oladipo (Orlando) and Sullinger (Boston) to be on the same team. The quartet is on Team Webber, which was selected by former Michigan star Chris Webber.
All four players were first-round picks and won at least one Big Ten title in college. Burke and Hardaway Jr. led Michigan to a share of the 2012 Big Ten crown, in addition to the 2013 national title game, Sullinger lifted Ohio State to the 2011 title and a share of it in 2012, and Oladipo lifted Indiana to the 2013 championship.
