Briscoe has been known not to start all week, but it really doesn't mean anything. They'll all get similar minutes.

Roy Rana is awful that's why Skal isn't starting. Jerked around Towns and Lyles last year as well.

Hit a nice shot in the paint and I am uncertain but he may have scored on a break but the announcers of course were busy talking and not paying attention to the game.

US team will have to be carried by it's backcourt. I think we're getting a pretty good idea about what insane length does to a team defensively.
Also, Labissiere has a beautiful stroke. Ridiculous vertical on his jumpshot. If that gets blocked, consider me stunned.
2 points off a jumper, and he already earns the nickname "The Haitian Revelation"

Zimmerman looking very good early. Briscoe being a great contributor.

World team seems to keep missing Skal wide open.
I do like Briscoe and the way he plays the game. .

We are going to need some big men and inside bruisers recruited because Briscoe and Ulis will be impossible to guard. Skal looks talented but I am not sure that he is that physical.

Give me Brown, Newman, and Zimmerman to top out the class, and we'll call it a year.

He's very physical as well. Fouls a lot. Luckily you can get a way with that in this game.
I've questioned his defensive rebounding in the games I've watched from him.

He was being guarded by Zimmerman.. Zimmerman definitely got away with some forearm jabs. haha

I'd personally like to add Newman/Ingram and Zimmerman. We need some high motor guys to join our current group. I feel like Maker and Skal would be a little too sleepy of a front court for my taste.

Granted, we are extremely spoiled to even feel like we are in a position to get ANY of these guys.

Some more length at the 2/3 would be nice as well.

Newman is the must get. Any combination of Zimmerman, Brown, Ingram and Maker after that will suffice too.

Wish we could get Ingram because that would mean UNC nor Duke got him.

Keep comparing him to Prince..
