USA with another strong team tho they may be undersized against the world's big men. For the draft junkies, we get to see what all the fuss is with Serge Ibaka, Alexis Ajinca is playin again this yr, a strong showin for him might put him in draft talks, dunno why Samardo Samuels is playin on the world team if he's from new jersey unless he has international background

Ajinca and Ibaka have the most to gain from this game.

Good to see a Gopher recruit in this game. As far as I can recall, Devoe Joseph is the first such example. Hooray for Tubby!

That Ibaka guy sounds pretty intriguing.

He's from my town, plays 5 minutes down the road from me.

I know in the States it's not unusual for athletes like that to live beside you, but we don't get that kind of thing often up here. It's pretty cool.

Glad that Devoe Joseph made the team, I think this is the second time a canadian made the team, the other one was Jevohn Sheperd

I'm looking forward to see Tim Ohlbrecht in that game. I actually get to see him very often, do know him in person as he lives like half a minute from me. I do think he is a legit nba prospect with the chance of going in the 1st round. He is just misused here in Bamberg, cause the team isn't playing any kind of fast break basketball and the coach doesn't leave room fo rmistakes, at least not by his younger players.

That was a crazy game.

Pickering High is developing into the basketball power around here. They've really started recruiting kids and none of the other schools do.

Ajinca has the most weight to gain.

My goodness is the guy's ceiling high if he could manage to put it on.


His length and athleticism is just plain ELITE.
