Just when we were questioning our faith in France as a basketball power, the real team showed up in the 4th quarter. Tony Parker is a mere shadow of his former self.

France 23 points in 1st half ... A lot of ugly basketball being played in this tourney ..

Wonder if Levon Kendal is hurt ... He has had a lot of success of Canada in FIBA action . I find it hard to believe Scrub has passed him on the depth chart .. I do like that Jay has shortened his rotation ... The problem with last summer or having a deep rostrum is you want to play everyone ..

The Stauskas case is clearer. He needs to solidify his NBA future. The slender 6-foot-6 shooting guard saw solid court time with the woeful Philadelphia 76ers but has been easily muscled around in the NBA. He struggled on offence and defence.
“His first two years weren’t great,” said Paul Stauskas, Nik’s father.
A summer of international basketball wasn’t the answer. Since the regular season ended in mid-April, it’s been all about bulking up – and adding flexibility in yoga and pilates. Stauskas’s core strength has increased considerably. He has gained about 10 pounds of muscle, up from 205 and aiming for 220.
Choosing career over country wasn’t easy.
Stauskas is close with Steve Nash, general manager of the national team.
“When Steve calls and says, ‘Hey Nik, we need you for the team,’ it’s very difficult to say no,” Paul Stauskas said.
