On another note, good thing OKC moved Giddy to the East. We dodged a bullet there! And how the heck is Patty Mills still on the FA market?!? :D
Mills shot 35% fg on two different teams... IN THE NBA last season.

He's washed for that league... still good enough for international play.

Gobert's basically been benched by France

NAW has been a non factor for Canada

A lot of it is no fault of his own, but I selfishly hope Rudy getting benched helps us in contract negotiations

It seemed like it big mistake too for a while. They had no rim protection or rebounding nearly giving up a 20 point lead. They got away with it though because Canadas stars basically all stunk. Especially Murray and Brooks. France did have very good ball pressure though which was a factor.

Turns out Gobert had surgery on his finger, which is why he barely played today according to Dane Moore.

Ouch! Ingles is done, but we need Rudy and NAW to be the best version of themselves. Please don't extend Rudy.

Ant up next. So far he has shown out for Team USA while NAW, Rudy, and Ingles have been underwhelming or total non-factors for their respective teams.

Brazil is severely outmatched physically.
