I love this interview with DeMar and Holly MacKenzie:
http://www.nba.com/raptors/mackenzie_derozan072914
“I done played with damn near 60 players in [my first] five years in the league,” DeRozan said. “Every year, coming in having 10+ new players, you’ve got to learn new guys, they have to learn the system. It’s big personally [to have everyone come back]. The chemistry that we had was definitely amazing.”>

So does DeRozan have a better chance now that Paul George is done(and wish him the best of recovery man that was a nasty injury). DeRozan had a strong showing last night, I think he led all scorers. ( I can't find a box score to confirm)

DD had a good night from what i understand but he doesn't really fit the international ball "type" player. the 3 point shooting, specifically.
i love DD, i'm really proud of how much he's improved his game in different facets over the years and how hard he works, but i'd honestly be shocked if he made the team, even with George out.@sweatpantsjer

Not sure Demar has rounded out his game enough for team USA.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
If you see KeonClark in the wasteland, please share your food and water with him.

Should be no question he is on team USA now

Axel wrote: View PostPart of me wonders whether the closer line and his mid range prowess works enough in his favor. Biggest thing holding him back is that he is too one dimensional for that team. Don't see them really needing a good scorer when they have elite scorers like Durant, Curry, etc. If you're making the team, your role players are likely defenders, versatile or can shoot from deep.

To me he showed an all round game in the scrimmage. I think he makes it. But that's just me. If he doesn't oh well. He gets more rest and more time to work on his game.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Axel wrote: View PostI admittedly didn't see the scrimmage, so perhaps he has improved those other aspects of his game. But based on career to date, he is far behind the versatility of some of the other non-stars at the camp. Hopefully he has continued to make strides and improve those other parts. It will be interesting to see.

Imo, 10/12 positions seem set:
Davis / Cousins
Durant / Faried
Thompson / Korver
Harden
Curry / Rose / Irving
Team USA will need to pick another wing from Parsons, DeMar, Hayward, Beal to replace George. As much as I want DeMar, I think Parsons gets that spot because of his shooting.
Not sure what direction they'll go for the 12th spot. Maybe an extra big (Drummond, Millsap, Plumlee)? An extra PG (Wall, Lillard)? If they decide to use a wing for the 12th spot, DeMar should be the pick.
Hopefully, DeMar finds a way onto the team. It would be well deserved.
