Up 8 and you keep bombing for 3s ffs.

Then Rudy misses up close.

Playing with fire and oh look Japan makes a 3 and it's a 5 point game....... Grrrrrr.....

I see we have reached the “gee, maybe these FIBA refs aren’t as good as I thought” stage of the tournament.

I believe the projected #2 pick behind Cooper Flagg is a French point guard, maybe that'll be the answer. But right now, this team isn't frightening anybody.

They have the potential #1 of next year (yes potentially above Flagg) in Nolan Traore. And he is a PG. He'd probably be their best PG already but coaches have to reward the vets I guess thats why he isnt on the roster.

Look at what he's doing at 17 years old against a Euroleague team

Watch on YouTube

He had completely dominated the best US prospects at the Nike Hoop Summit game too.

EDIT: Oh damn I answered after only reading your first sentence. Didnt see that you mentioned him yourself lol

Can't describe how much I respect this Japanese team, them and South Sudan are not here to just participate.

Ok.

NO FOUL ON A 3... YOU HAVE ONE JOB...

I thought Japan had already won the game but I underestimated the referees...

Terrific game, but man... Wembanyama will feel like he is heaven getting to play with an actual point guard in CP3.
