    welcome to the part where being part of USA Select team is now frowned upon. nvm the fact that a lot of the best players in the league all started their journey on one of the 7 prior USA Select teams LOL.

    The level of stupidity here never ceases to amaze me on CF's

    Apparently kpj is now too good to b scrimming against those playing for our country and the only ones doing it are those needing to rehabilitate their image.

    Wonder y the dude that's known for throwing food and quitting mid game isn't volunteering also to fix his image?

    Doubling down on stupidity

    I mean… If Jalen and Cade need to be around and rub some greatness off of Austin Reaves - who went undrafted from their class - by all means, go for it!

    You can't convince "the best young talent" to be on a practice squad, so you get the best who are desperate for attention.

    You can't convince young studs who are trying to prove and daily improve their status by going against the real USA team?

    Real hoopers would jump on that opportunity, but I'll give you a pass since hooping is most definitely not your speciality/strength

    Steel sharpens steel, scrub vs lesser scrub is a scrub product

    Getting attention is what the best or scrub should be doing and has been doing, the league promotes it that way

    Those so called superior players have a ego problem and none of them have accomplished jack to try and act above playing the ''real USA team''

    Mobley and the rest are a bunch of prima donnas if they truly feel what you are suggesting

    Only guys with something to prove could be swayed by that.... guys that underperformed or didn't play due to injury. Quality players have nothing to prove by being on a practice squad.

    If a true young stud doesn't think he can prove something against the real USA team of superior players then there goes the superstar/best mentality for all those who declined that you feel are superior and have nothing to prove after their second or fourth season in

    Maybe if they were All NBA team accomplished they could maybe get away with it, and they still should be game to compete even with that accolade

    If only they had a USA team for fat internet trolls to compete in. Someone could represent the country in something he is actually skillful at!
