The Jamaican national team has been adding established NBA talent ahead of upcoming FIBA competition. Now, even more reinforcements may be on the way.

Scottie Barnes of the Toronto Raptors, Isaiah Stewart II of the Detroit Pistons and Devin Vassell of the San Antonio Spurs are in talks to play for Jamaica on the national team level. The trio would join Amen Thompson of the Houston Rockets and Ausar Thompson of the Detroit Pistons, who have begun the process to be eligible to play for Jamaica.

Norman Powell of the LA Clippers and Josh Minott of the Minnesota Timberwolves have already committed to play for the Jamaican national team in FIBA World Cup Americas Pre-Qualifying games this August. Nick Richards of the Phoenix Suns may join the team as well.

Team is deep 2-5 but has no point guard unless you’re going to play Amen, Powell, and Barnes at the 1.

Good defense though and athletic as heck

This US vs World All-star game could get interesting...now you have players indetinflying as other citizens.

As a Jamaican, I support this.

I'm 1% Jamaican. Can I join?

Issue with these type of team is the lack of chemistry.. add some shooters and a point guard and they should be a top five team. But they probably won’t come closer to that.

Scottie be like:



Hope this happens though.

lol it’s all in the hairline. He’s one of us.

I hope Dalano Banton suits up as well. It’s a solid rotation with him as a backup PG behind all the combo players.

Funny, the joke about Jamaicans having a million jobs plays out with this team as everyone can play at least two positions.

All of them have Jamaican blood, at least partially.
