Btw, Satoransky is pretty damn good. Haven't paid much attention to him, but the guys is DARN good. Did the Wizards resign him?

The Bulls signed Satoransky? I just checked and it says the Bulls, darn good signing for them.
Good assessment:

Love it that Donovan Mitchell is searching out assists and playing D. With shooters Ingles, Bogdanovic and Conley to throw the ball to on the Jazz this season, DM's unselfish attitude will serve the Jazz well.

Australia probably have to beat Greece and Spain to get to the finals.

France probably have to beat US and Serbia.

Glad we won that game.

I'm sure it's been discussed at some point, but I really wish Booker was on this team. They need that young guy who can go nuclear and I think he would have been great next to Mitchell.
