Eastern European, yes, Turkey even so the choice of a team American by bloodline prob should be Lin -> Asik -> DMo
good for him but idk how this is gonna help him. kyrie irving was invited to last years and he only had a small statistical increase this year and his defense is still BAD.
When he's facing up? Wouldn't hurt, but it would be nice, if he had more of a go to move. Battier mixed in hook in the post, every once in a while, but Parsons should be better at it, with his height/reach.
CP's stock is sky high right now, he's going to get traded and the + side is the rockets won't have to pay him. Will bump this when it happens but it sucks that our organization has such a head up ass way of putting a team together.
"Parsons invited to USA Basketball minicamp" Quite an accomplishment to be listed among these dudes, and considered a possible member on the next Team USA. http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterocke...ns-invited-to-usa-basketball-summer-minicamp/ (p.s. do not involve in trades)

It's Team USA. National teams are not limited to just pro athletes, other national teams recruit college athletes as well. Either way, this is just a mini-camp, the real tournament won't be until next summer.
Nice~ I hope he goes develops some chemistry with stars and recruits them as well! Jokes aside, Chandler deserves it!!
