Just a general discussion thread for the USA team. Feel free to discuss anything related as we cheer on the guys in the red white and blue. Also, reminder to everyone there is going to be a scrimmage tonight at 10 PM ET on the ESPN channels. Lineups for tonight are: Blue Team Chauncey Billups Tyreke Evans Rudy Gay Jeff Green Brook Lopez Kevin Love OJ Mayo JeVale McGee Rajon Rondo Russell Westbrook White Team Tyson Chandler Stephen Curry Kevin Durant Eric Gordon Danny Granger Andre Igoudala Lamar Odom Derrick Rose Gerald Wallace
You could make a case for Brooks belonging on that team.. Is eric gordon and russell westbrook that much better than Brooks?
They said he really impressed the coaches during summer league play. He's as athletic as any big man in the league.
It's kind of ironic that two of the players people on the GARM constantly talk about are on the same team.
I had to find out who he was... <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OVM5yfG8nXQ&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OVM5yfG8nXQ&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LcBPv3xEqDw&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LcBPv3xEqDw&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tm_j_VQG-EQ&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tm_j_VQG-EQ&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
STEPEHN CURRY! WARRIORS! ... Curry will be a great fit for the International game because of his ability to play the point/shooting guard and plus he can shoot and create offense for others. Curry should be the back up point guard to Billups(heard hes a lock to make the team since he has experience)
Although I agree with you about Curry,there are several players that should be ahead of him in the depth chart. Rondo, Westbrook, and Rose come to mind.
Mcgee is a very mobile and athletic 7 footer, with a great wingspan, can handle the ball and is only 22. He's not great now, but he's likely one of the better up and coming centers. And who did y'all expect to play center? True centers are rare in this game. Even more are good ones. Most of the better froncourt players are sitting out as well.
What are you guy's early prediction on who will make the final team. Here is my guess on the first 10 players. PG - Rondo/Rose SG - Billups/Igoudala SF - Wallace/Gay PF - Durant/Odom C - Chandler/Love Next few: Westbrook, Lopes, Granger
