    Seems like they're all players who are relatively new to the NBA. Is there a reason it's all young players?

    I don't agree with Lin being on there but that's not my choice to make.

    Don't be surprised if this experience helps him take his game to the next level.

    Big market + big story.

    I din't get it either, he only played 35 games- I think much of his performance was a flash in the pan- also the team already has Wall and Irving- do they really need a 3rd point guard?

    I wonder if they try to pick players who would play well in an international playbook, so they can adjust the players for the olympics?

    Why Lin over someone like Curry? I guess I understand Lowry, as he's maybe too old for the select team, but Curry is still way better than Lin.

    Lin is not a bad player, but unless he makes significant strides, he's vastly overrated.

    Wade tells everybody we should get paid for this and every all star agrees. So now these young players are going to get those sponsors the league talks about.
