Santiago opened his 2004 Olympic experience by helping Puerto Rico upset the United States and many of his NBA colleagues. On Thursday, the 7-1 Bucks center had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds in Puerto Rico's 83-80 victory over Angola. Santiago made 5 of 6 shots and 6 of 8 free throws and also blocked 2 shots and handed out 2 assists. "He's been practicing since June 1, and to play in this environment is only going to help," Harris said. "What translates (to the NBA game) is he's playing, he's in an organized setting, he's conditioning himself. "Last year he was coming off playing in Europe, and he didn't get that kind of quality experience in the summer."
