In selecting the NBA players for Castrol Rising Stars, each NBA team submitted one ballot per coaching staff. Each coaching staff selected four frontcourt players, four guards and two additional players at either position, in order of preference, for the rookie ballot and the sophomore ballot. Coaches were not permitted to vote for any player on their team.

The NBA participants for Castrol Rising Stars were determined by the total points each player received from the ballots. Points were awarded based on where a player was ranked on each ballot. The player pool includes one more sophomore than rookie based on total points received.

If a player is selected to play in the NBA All-Star Game and Castrol Rising Stars, he will only compete for one of the three teams of NBA All-Stars on Sunday, Feb. 16.
