WAters is very fun player to watch. TOs galore, but man does everything there for his team.

Yeah down only 3, with Waters having 7!! turnovers already. On the other side though, Fontecchio only 1/7 from the floor

How would you guys rank the best non NBA guards in the tournament?
In no particular order it's probably: Feliz, Zagars, Jokubaitis, Waters, Yago, Paco Cruz, Carlik Jones.

Am I missing someone?

Joe Ingles needs to shut up.

It was funny and entertaining in his early years but he now goes looking for fights and does more talking than he does shooting.

Disrespectful to refs, opponents and fans watching.

Yeh he’s starting to annoy me.

No surprises Australia looks great with Reath/Exum/Green/Giddey plus whoever on the court

I’m utterly amazed that I’m 3 years older than Shermandini. Dude looks at least 15 years older than me

And now they took the lead. Italy having a brickfest to match PRs turnover fest.

ITA and PUR looks trash, jesus.

Australia team for Paris:

Landale
Simmons (yes I start him at the 4)
Motum
Green
Giddey

Bench- Reath, White, Daniels, Thybulle, Mills, Proctor, Exum. I take Rocco as a backup for when Landale pulls out. I get the feeling he wasn’t seriously injured and will never played for Australia again because of his nba contract.

Some bolters there but the nation needs an injection of youth and future building. Motum is a vet but a pro and the glue guy in that starting five. Embarrassing that he got overlooked for even the training squad.

This Ricci dagger should put PR away from good. But never write off the Puerto Ricans...

ROballer · Post #1295 » by **ROballer** » Sun Sep 3, 2023 9:24 am

Tonut is basically the white Tony Snell. All he does is score a bunch of points and doesn't care about anything else.
Has a combined 8 reb and 7 ast in the entire tournament.

when italy gets the splash fratelli (ricci-datome) going from 3 it's a different team :oops:

I understand Simmons as 4. But Motum as the 3 no way lol

Yea, it was one of these games where the first team that gets it going from the 3 will win.
Kudos to the Italians working the offensive boards, they were key during the whole 40 mins.

Latvia's ball movement is... immaculate.

Buckets22 · Post #1300 » by **Buckets22** » Sun Sep 3, 2023 10:08 am

How did Datome celebrated, showered, put on the Latvia jersey and went to Jakarta to cheer for them

new WORLD CHAMPIONS will be?
