16 teams enter, 7 teams qualify for the World Cup.
I'm not sure how this will work in practice, because it's not just the NBA players that won't come for many of these games. Why would colleges for example let their kids go play in these tournaments in November or February?
I read that some other pro leagues might take a break during these FIBA dates.

Still though you don't know the pressure the NBA teams put on guys like Lyles and Murray to be in summer league on a team agenda... The memory of Paul George getting hurt so bad still resonates in the NBA thinking I would bet..
CoJo took the team on his shoulders... built some more of that intangible leadership quality you like to see in your players.....There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

This.
Respect to the players who showed up, especially Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph after very long seasons.

Murray has an excuse, he just got drafted. KO and Nicholson I believe are both injured(?). So I can't really blame them for not participating.
But what the fuck is Wiggins excuse? Lyles? Stauskas?Mamba Mentality
