FIBA World Cup 2014

Simmons was in the preliminary squad but didn't make the final cut sadly, will probably be in the next one. Humphries I guess is a few years away. Hopefully Thon Maker will have committed to the program as well by then, last I heard the news was much better than before on that front!

Wow, there's some talent in the pipeline.

Yesterday Antetokounmpo led Greece with 12 points and added six rebounds in a 70-56 World Cup warm up win over Turkey. Nick Calathes of the Memphis Grizzles also had 12 points for Greece.

The length of the court in 2 dribbles and a dunk.

Any one else tired of hearing how DeRozan is on the bubble and he's going to get cut? He has been the leading scorer in the two games he played and one of the best distributors to. The US media especially Stein and ESPN keep reporting that he will be cut or on the bubble. While lesser players like Plumblee, Thompson and even Irving are being reported to make the team. If Derozan is cut it would make Coach Mike a true biased idiot. Derozan's game has come around alot over the last two years and to me is on par with James Harden. Will see what happens but I'm 100% sure that Derozan should be on the current World cup team.

We'll find out tomorrow, maybe. USA basketball are not saying if the cut is going to be down to 12, 13, or 14. Derozan deserves to make it but there is a good chance that USA moves on without Demar and other all stars that don't make the cut. There will be a lot of second guessing especially if a gold medal is not won by this team.

Rose is not ready to play 9 games in 14 days. He should pull himself out leaving his spot to someone who is able to go full out. Rose has his own training specialist all set to go to Spain with him.

[Mr.Z]

DeRozan's not playing. They already put 12 guys on the floor.

Is that a sign that he's on or off the roster?
