Karl-Anthony Towns was in the same situation as Jamual Murray ( Jay in a interview on prime time ) is this year last summer when he wanted to play in the worlds .. Karl wasn't allowed and so that maybe not good news for us ...
Also ... Nik was mentioned in the interview .. I don't think he is trying out I think he is in Jay's plans for at least starter ..

Brazil is probably not sending any of it's NBA players or even Huertas to Mexico. The Brazilian team that won the Pan Am gold was awesome in how they played in a very disciplined system. Assuming Brazil sends the same guys to Mexico, they have a very good chance to finish in the top two there. If that happens and since Brazil already has an automatic bid to Rio, does that mean the third place team in Mexico gets an Olympic bid? FIBA is always very quirky and unpredictable in their decision making process.

Brazil without the NBA players is a threat to win in Mexico.
Karl Towns and Ronald Roberts are likely not going play for the Dominican Republic for FIBAs.

The Dominican Republic will be without some high-profile players this summer at the FIBA Americas Championship but there will still be plenty of firepower in the squad. Francisco Garcia, James Feldeine, Eloy Vargas and Eulis Baez all shone last year at the FIBA Basketball World Cup, helping the Dominicans reach the Round of 16.
They had big games in Bilbao, where Group C was staged. Their presence, and that of some talented newcomers, give the Dominicans cause for optimism. "Our quintet [best five] of the World Cup is here and we have made excellent additions," national team general manager Eduardo Najri said in a Q&A with fans on dominicanosenbasket.com.
"Nevertheless, if we had been able to have all of the players available, they [media] said we would be favorite ahead of Canada and all of their NBA players. "Right now, the aim is to reach the Semi-Finals and from then on, you never know what can happen."Last edited by stretch; Thu Aug 13, 2015, 06:33 PM.
