    he kicked around the league for a few years and never stuck, but when he was 18, some people thought he was going to be another giannis type, iirc.

    If there’s any better analysis than this one by ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla on Bruno Caboclo, who was selected by the Raptors with the 20th pick, I’d like to hear it. Fraschilla noted that Cabocio is the “Brazilian Kevin Durant” and that “he’s two years away from being two years away.” OK then.

    Reaves & Haliburton had to save Team USA again..
    Sunday's game vs. Lithuania could be interesting.

    Carlik Jones is the first player in the history of the world championships with 10+ assists in 3 games.

    South Sudan's Carlik Jones became the first player in World Cup history to score 10+ passes in three games.

    Today, South Sudan beat Angola (101:78) in the tournament for 17th-32nd places in the 2023 World Cup and won a ticket to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

    Jones scored 26 points and made 15 assists. In 33 minutes, the Chicago player converted 10 of 15 from the field. He also has 7 rebounds.

    Oh Jordan Clarkson with 20pts in 4 minutes for the Philippines :eek:

    He got a lot of crap from Lakers fans when he was in LA, but I’m happy for him

    clarkson and kuzma both got too much talk about what they couldn't do and not enough appreciation for what they could. guessing vando might be next, tbh.

    Now we'll see if Kerr has the gonads to put AR in for more than 2 minutes.

    LOL. When you guys lose this (not certain)... all the talk's gonna be "...but, but... they hit 9/9 on threes". And it's a shame, because they are up 19 in Q2 becase US has no offense and doesn't play defense, without AR, Haliburton and Co.

    Ingram ISO, Smaller Fatso ISO.... Looks pityful.

    LOL... AR + Portis in and suddenly the ball moves. Now Kerr should take the midget out and put Hali in...

    Brunson is an embarassment.

    Lithuania dominated on the glass & from three..
    Team USA's lack of size was blatantly obvious in this one.
