Wierd selection.

Assuming Horford and Aldridge (the only bigs on the team) split the minutes at C, who the heck plays PF? Iguodala? Green?

Uh honestly it doesn't really matter. All they are doing is scrimmaging Team USA. Not like the actual squad has a bunch of big bodies anyway. They have Dwight Howard and Tyson Chandler.

[Hank the Tank]

i think the announcers just said 8 wins for team usa. 3 wins for the select team. and 2 ties.

however, they even mentioned the person who really surprised them was rodney stuckey!

pretty cool.

i just wish i could have seen them scrimmages or at least see the stats.

edit: oops sorry...thought this was in the pistons section....just did the search function. ignore.

Just want to point out that Jerryd Bayless was on the Select team as well. I wish they would have televised those scrimmages!

Really only one big man since Aldridge is a 6'11" shooting guard.

Luther Head?

[JamStone]

Luther Head is the exact type of back court player the US will face in international competition. He's quick but not overwhelming athletic, he doesn't have traditional NBA shooting guard size, and he can stroke the three pointer.
