Donuts was cut from last year's Euro Champs squad. Even if he doesn't make the final cut for the Olympics he'll miss SL.
I personally do not expect Motiejunas there - he has nothing left to prove and why should he play with scrubs? The absolute same with Parson. Morris had better get his butt there ... he is just this side of another year on pine. Two draft choices - if we don't trade up I would expect them both there. I cannot think of anyone else who matters.
What happened to the Israeli kid we drafted a few years back?? i thought he was supposed to end up being good?
ok i found it.. PF- Lior Eliyahu 6'10.. anyways was just curious.. drafted in 2006. when do our rights run out? or is he a euro scrub?
His rights will never run out. We'll have them forever. Eliyahu is a good player, but whether or not his game would translate to the NBA is questionable. He's a tweener in the Shawn Marion/Antwan Jamison(without the jumpshot) mold.
I believe Brad Newley will be playing in Olympics this summer for his NT. He had some lackluster seasons here in Europe, but I still think he'll be one of the key players for aussie squad. As for Motiejūnas, he wasn't cut from NT. There are some rumors concerning his contract uncertaities causing some doubts of his decision to play for Lithuanian team or not. As in, he can't sign a contract with rockets till 1st of July while the qualification tournament starts 2nd of July, meaning that and in case of injury he would lose all the guarantees of signing the contract and might not take the risk. I hope they will work it out withought difficulties. Anyways, it's a good chance that we will see Motiejūnas on NT this summer, though it will be clear in late June.
