    Man, he'd be a great addition to Calipari's team. How many year's of eligibility does he have left?

    It's pretty much considered the worst professional league in Europe.

    You look down upon UK ballers like Devin Harris.

    Just sayin.

    Have you seen their FIBA team? They're awful.

    Really? Any team that starts Ben Gordon and Luol Deng can hardly be terrible. Next time, maybe try doing a bit of research before exposing your ignorance to the world.

    What happened to Metta World Peace? Is he going back to "Ron Artest" again?

    That's horrible. Those guys can't carry a team. Even the NBA's lottery teams like the Clips and Grizzlies are better across the board.

    Smh. When comparing them to the talent of many other countries, it is pretty good.

    According to their roster, Gordon's not on the team. I only recognize Deng and Pops, other than that it's some college students and a couple of guys who play in Spain.

    The UK is bad. They do not even compare to many other teams in the world. also. They may not even make it past the 1st round, unless there is some serious home cooking by the refs.

    There's also no desire to play, most British kids don't play basketball, so I doubt their team will fare better in the future.
