    Yeah, we want the opposite of Bonner ie......someone who can play defense, rebound, and score in a variety of ways other then 3 pointer.

    I'm glad you mentioned this - I coach AAU basketball and have stated that SO MANY TIMES. In fact, one of the worst inventions in basketball has been the 3 pt line because ERBODY and their brother thinks they can shoot them.

    This is further reinforced by guys at every height level (5'10" to 7'0") being primary 3 pt jump shooters instead of the shorter guys learning how to make decisions and distribute the ball and bigger guys learning how to play back to the basket skills and rebounding.

    Basketball just isn't what it used to be...

    This guy hits threes? Is he becoming our Channing Frye in training or what?

    What a crazy box score. GB was blowing them out and almost lost. How do you go +22 in rebounding and lose by one? Commit 29 turnovers, that's how.

    it's good to see Richard's numbers steadily going up each game... 5 games in a row at 20+ points.

    Any chance that Richards could play for the mens national team? I think Richards realized after the 1st game of this tourney that if he does not score, that team does not have a chance. Good to see him step up his game because quite frankly it seems as though the rest of his team is not very good.

    Van Oostrum (who got some hype in this thread two weeks ago) is a TO machine and not as great as advertised in the other departments. against better compe ion he would likely produce even more chaos.

    GB U20 is seriously underachieving in this tournament. They will finish this tournament between the 13th and 16th place.

    I damn hope Richards will be invited to the senior team camp. They have 3 good bigmen with Robert Archibald, Dan Clark and Joel Freelaand. Richards can be their 4th bigman and get significant playing time at a way better level.
