    Yup. Dame and Drummond will go on to have multiple All-Star games over their careers, while Plumlee and Kyle Korver will continue to be role players.

    Cut dame sooner than later. Stop wasting his time. This is just ridiculous.

    Drummond is kinda clueless on the bball court. I don't think he's ready for this yet. Boogie absolutely does though.

    Did you guys just see rose crossover that guy from Brazil? What's his name? I hadn't heard of him before.

    Raul Neto: Jazz drafted him a while back.

    I love watching Barbosa in a running game. The Brazilian Blur.

    Faried is getting a lot of play. I bet he'll be pretty useless against a team like Spain who will be play more of a halfcourt game.

    None of the actual SFs look good. I think they're going to play Harden and Klay Thompson at SF.

    Much as I'd like that to be true, I doubt it. But it should be pretty close. Marc Gasol is going to get a lot of looks.

    If they look like this, Slovenia will kill them. No cohesion whatsoever. James Harden iso will not work. In the NBA or in FIBA

    Everybody's knocking Plumlee, but if Meyers could play like that I'd be ecstatic.

    How about if Meyers played like Drummond? How about Cousins?

    Plumlee is playing ahead of guys that are stars in the NBA. He's playing over guys that will be making millions upon millions more than him. Meyers will never be on team USA, and neither should Plumlee.

    There's fantasy and then there's being on drugs.
