Basketball purists love the NBA Skills Challenge, and it's here again as part of the annual All-Star Weekend. The competition is set for Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.

The Taco Bell Skills Challenge features the game's most versatile players. The participants include Jayson Tatum, Domantas Sabonis, Spencer Dinwiddie and Pascal Siakam. Before you make your Skills Challenge picks, you'll want to see what our top NBA expert, Mike Barner, has to say.

Now he has analyzed the 2020 Skills Challenge from all angles. We can tell you he's not backing Pacers big man Domantas Sabonis. Only two players have ever won the Skills Challenge while standing at 6'9 or taller, and Sabonis (6-10) might not have the pure ball-handling skills and 3-point shooting acumen to keep up with some of the pure guards.

Instead, Barner is has uncovered a key X-factor that makes one player a MUST-BACK! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any picks of your own.
