Might as well link back to my thread after all's said and done.

Let me know who you thought had the most success

Raptors in the FIBA Tourney

Damon Stoudemire was REALLY good back then, but Marcus was still developing.... it's tough the 96/97 squad has 3 really good players.... but they are D-league after that.

I pick this year's team...

Sorry Buddha, I appreciate your stats and analysis, but you are blinded by your hate for Bargnani here. I know you hate that alot of fans like these guys, but you are going overboard just like them....

fair enough

No you were talking about his FAMILY history

Nope.... just a list of former players that have played (or coached) major competition USA teams

If you are actually interested to who was on that team...

Elton Brand F 6-8 275 23 Los Angeles...

Way to ignore every single one of Jerry Colangelo's accomplishments in Basketball

I'd say he has a better 'basketball related' family history than our other GM's

Other notable former Raps on Team USA's (I'll include these 3)....

Lenny Wilkins
Antonio Davis
Shawn Marion
Jermaine O'neal
Vince Carter
Chris Bosh
Hakeemn Olajuwan
Chauncey Billups

Plenty of teams make a living drafting later. It's not about getting the top pick, it's about drafting smart, and maybe getting lucky here and there. It's about grooming the players you do have,...

nah.... the worst team rarely even gets the top pick

I don't know about that.
I'd hope so, but I wouldn't put money on it

Half of the Cavaliers roster are Raptor's throwaways.

I don't think their is much else to be said

Very good 'high level' role player type. Like 10-15 PPG, 10 RPG and (hopefully) 2 BPG.

That's my guess

Brazil's kind of a weird team. Sometimes they look like a top team in this tourney, and at other times they look like they could drop out in the 1st round.

Guess we will see soon

You might be right. The only Box Score I have seen had him starting, but that was just a warm-up game.

Nice AV

Most stats were taken directly from the FIBA website.

It's still August so I'm going to mix it up for the upcoming Fiba tourney that I am super excited for.

Which Raptor do you think will have the most success in Turkey?

David Anderson -...

That 1stQ from the USA was rough. 7 points?

Looks like Westbrook played really well in his minutes

I got to give it the local guy. Sonny was alright, and I didn't see Demar do much

I wasn't calling you that because I disagree with the original topic. I called you that because of the "American basketball kids grow up playing because they cannot afford to do anything else and in...

What's the difference in poor americans playing BBall and poor kids in europe/asia/south america/africa playing soccer? Are you saying none of these kids have culture or socialization skills?

Get...

Awesome movie. Jesus Shuttlesworth!!

It's true the owner said that. I'm not sure if he'll follow through, but he definitely wants to, I think it depends on the potential move to Brooklyn?

That is what I'm waiting for. I have been pumped for this tourney for some time. Ever since I watched the Fiba Americas tourney on my comp at work and saw Canada working hard. Good win over Serbia...
