HIDALGO, TEXAS - The NBA D-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers announced today that Ernest Scott has been selected to take part in the NBA Development League's Dream Factory Friday night Three-Point Shootout during NBA All-Star festivities on Friday, February 13th in Phoenix. The event will take place at Center Court at NBA Jam Session presented by Adidas at 8:15 p.m.

Since being acquired in a trade with the Idaho Stampede on January 20th, Scott is shooting 46.7% (14-30) from behind the arc. Overall, he is at 41.5% (62-161) from downtown.

Each competitor will have 60 seconds to sink up to 25 three-pointers from five shooting stations assembled around the three-point line. The initial four stations will have four orange balls (worth one point each) and one multi-colored "money ball" worth two points while the competition kicks into high gear as the final station will for the first time consist of five two-point "money balls". The shooters will compete in two rounds of action with the top two scorers from the first round advancing to the final round.
