Can't wait to see Rubio against Paul and Williams. If he has a good olympics he'll be a lock for the top pick next year.

Rudy Fernandez is SG

I m waiting Spain vs USA match. Maybe USA lacks some height for the centers

Kobe weighs 205?

KB20 · Post #7 » by **KB20** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 9:39 pm

Spain is going to be the toughest of the teams. I think that they we will play them in the final game and if we don't play our best, they can definitely beat us.

The United States has the best roster by far and it's not even close. But that doesn't make the best team right away.

We got the best team on paper

Sofo is at 375!!!??? WHOA

I was about to say the same thing... no wonder he hasn't gotten a contract from the Clippers.

He used to be at 400 pounds few months ago, so give him credit for losing some weight =)

dreamcloud · Post #12 » by **dreamcloud** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:05 am

Yeah I'm really looking forward to the Spain vs USA one as well. Should be exciting, hopefully USA will win big time still though.

Also yes, Rudy plays SG.

Post #13 » by **NO-KG-AI** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:39 am

Spain is starting Garbo and Pau? I'd go double Gasol on everyone.

Apollo64 · Post #14 » by **Apollo64** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 10:20 am

Doesn't really mean much who starts.

Yeah, but this last season he played mostly at SF.

Yep, he was up to 410 pounds but lost 35 pounds so he's actually "light" these days.

Updated rosters added. China and Angola rosters added plus the current rosters of the other teams. Several teams like Croatia, Russia, Lithuania have made changes to their rosters.

The rosters can still change up until August 7th.

And you have never once posted depth charts, or heights or weights. Seems you need a lot of help mate.
