No to Gallo for me. I would offer Lavine, dieng, and shabazz for oakfor and staukaus though.

Re: FIBA qualifying Bennett hype Thread
I actually like the way the team is being constructed for the most part and Dieng fits in well here. I don't want a team full of scorers--I want guys who can play team ball, hustle on defense and can pass the ball. The only two players I'd like to flip or upgrade are AB and Payne. We don't necessarily have to trade them--we can release them and sign a better player in free agency next year when we should be way under the cap.

Not a bad 16 minutes for AB against the Dominican Republic today...14 points and 6 rebounds, 4 for 5 on 3 pointers! He was 1 for 2 on threes last night against Mexico, but was relatively quiet statistically...6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 16 minutes. Wiggins on the other hand hit all 4 of his threes against Mexico.
I hope Flip is paying attention.

Can someone post a box score to the game with DR as I can't readily find one. Thanks.

Re: FIBA qualifying Bennett hype Thread
Here is also a peak of a few dunks from one of his recent games. The 1st and 3rd ones aren't that spectacular, but the second one is pretty cool - one of those you don't really see coming.
(by the way, I love the two guys calling these games. I have no clue who they are, but they are pretty down to earth and fun to listen to).

Anybody know why Towns isn't playing for the DR in this tournament?

The team probably wants him here so that he can learn our system and get some good mentorship.

Q, Thanks! Wow, Bennett was 4 of 5 on threes while Heslip was only 1 of 7. I have to say I am impressed.
Wouldn't that be something if he can develop into a 3 point specialist.

Bennett buried four threes within the first 5-7 minutes of the game it felt like. Started out hot.
