So we have a thread titled Jalen Green Team USA Scrimmage/Game Sightings that kicks off with a video that Jalen Green appears in... nowhere at all.
He’s an alternate (Select team) which mean if someone gets hurt he, Chet Holgrem or Cade get to go to the Philippines as a replacement. Doubt the alternates practice - which is why we haven’t seen either of the 3
They definitely practice, because that's the whole point of having a select team. It's not just extra bodies for the USA team to practice against (they can't just keep scrimmaging against themselves), the select team needs to go through the same training and playbook in order to become potential future members of the main team.
i'm afraid it turns out into a rare sighting.... like that of Big Foot, Yeti, Abominable Snowman, etc.
Green’s was probably the worst defensive player in the NBA last season, but it was all about lack of effort and tenacity. If he starts putting-in effort - as I think he will this season, in order to get his extension - he has the tools to be a good defensive player. Tyler Herro OTOH… I dunno man. This is just pathetic:
How often do the Select team practice with the main squad. this footage has no Select team members from what I can see
For a second, I thought that #8 dude on the Blue team was Jalen after a summer of 'roid training with a souped up hairdo.
