Tyler Zeller? He must feel so out of place.

All those players are good IMO except for Zeller and Derozan. But, DJ Augustin was also invited to these camps, and Okafor was on the 2004 US Olympic squad, so who knows.

Me too. I got it set to record on my DVR at home and a reminder at my job to watch it. I hope Kemba and/or MKG get a lot of face time. Either way just a cameo would make me happy.

Slim chance MKG makes it IMO. Wings that can't shoot are like kryptonite in international ball.

Neither are making it for a long time, if ever.

The coverage is terrible. 90% announcers talking about something 5% shots of coaches 5% actual scrimmage. Very disappointed.

Iguodala looks like Larry Bird compared to MKG.

There weren't much game footage. Lots and lots of commentating, interviews, stats and edit clips.

There were sighting of MKG... His first shot was a wide open air ball 3. Smh.
