    Hopefully under a real coach, the USA program can whip LaSoftie into shape.
    (USA program minus Nate of course)

    Nope. There's nothing a coach can do for him, if LMA is going to change it's going to have to come from him wanting to change and a big part of that is seeking contact. In my experience, that's an in-born trait and not something you develop as you get older -- either you like to get hit and deliver hits or you don't.

    I've come to the conclusion that Aldridge is a good player, just not one that thrives when put into a situation where he's the focal point of his teams offense. This can be said about a lot of bigs in the league.

    Brandon Roy wasn't even asked to be on the roster?

    I believe Brandon has turned down an invitation twice, so maybe they stopped inviting him?
