France could have been lethal if they had everyone of their stars playing and healthy Parker/Beaubois Batum/Florent Pietrus Mikael Pietrus/Florent Pietrus Diaw Noah/Mahinmi They'd be sound defensively and decent enough offensively to be a major contender.
It's possible Parker or Roddy B would come off the bench even for Nando. I want to see that French team play, it's too bad they couldn't get all their guys together...or even most of them. Good prospects continue to come out of France though so they have a bright future.
Half court offense seemed a little sloppy, most points came from individual talent. With that said, this team has enough time to mesh together, and I think with Chauncey/KD, they will.
i was at the game and rudy gay looks like he buffed up a ton, at points i thought it was andre iguodala going up to dunk cause the guy was so cut
France had twigs masquerading as centers. I think the good teams with big frontcourts might surprise USA at the Worlds.
