[QUOTE]Team USA features at least two future NBA Draft lottery picks: Guard Shabazz Muhammad and center Nerlens Noel. Wing Kyle Anderson's smooth, crafty game and guard Archie Goodwin's scoring prowess are worth keeping an eye on. The World Team is led by versatile Croatian forward Dario Saric, a Hoop Summit veteran, and a pair of talented Canadians: Anthony Bennett, a rugged forward, and wing Andrew Wiggins, a 17-year-old sensation.[/QUOTE]
A lot of talent on the floor tonight!
Single favorite game of the year (seen 5 or 6 of them in person and maybe all the rest on tv) pissed I'm on the road w no dvr set so now I better stop for the night
Motiejunas, dirk, averybradley and john wall stick out in memory. Just from seeing the mcdonalds game I'm not sure this is a great team usa year but can't wait to see
Is noel playing? Has shabazz made up his mind yet (I really hope he goes to ucla but expecting him to go to kentucky)

Noel is playing. Also watch out for Andrew Wiggins on the world team.

Yeah, Noel is playing.
From what I hear, Shabazz is leaning towards UCLA which would be awesome to watch.
Would love to watch Anderson+Shabazz play together.
Good complementary read before the game

For anyone who has Dish HD, it's on channel 440.
Andrew Wiggins is really, really impressive. Canada's got their next superstar.

UCLA = Anderson + Shabazz + Parker = :bowdown:
Is Shabazz playing? What about Nerlens Noel?
[QUOTE=EnoughSaid]Is Shabazz playing? What about Nerlens Noel?[/QUOTE]Both are.
what kind of gay name is Nerlens
Number 15 on the world team is going to get the obvious Yao Ming comparison by the commentators at least one point during the game.
The World Team is going IN! USA is terrible.
lmfao at this Shabazz guy. Dude is getting star treatment ive never seen before.
Team USA is playing too much hero ball.
It's really limiting Kyle Anderson's and Noel's games. Just let Shabazz be your main scorer and let Anderson and Noel do their thing. Everyone else should try to play as role players and not stars.
Some of these World guys are very impressive. Wang, Wiggins and Bennett are nice. :applause:
Whoopin
Shahbaz Muhammed is the only guy on USA that looks like a good player the rest are bunch of scrubs. :lol
Most impressive for me today:
Shabazz
Andrew Wiggins
Anthony Bennett
Wang Zhelin
Archie Goodwin
I've seen most of these guys play before and thought Kyle Anderson would do much better against the zone.
why is nerlens noel the #1 player? Looks severely underwhelming and literally has zero offense.
shabazz is such a puss. He's gonna fit right in with the NBA stars.
[QUOTE=Dw1ll]why is nerlens noel the #1 player? Looks severely underwhelming and literally has zero offense.[/QUOTE]
seems like he has bad hands. Really like Wiggins and Saric though.
wings from team usa are very selfish.
i have direct tv... watch channel, if any, would this be on?
Shabazz has almost half the team's points at the end of the third quarter. :lol
[QUOTE=LBJMVP]i have direct tv... watch channel, if any, would this be on?[/QUOTE]
Fox Sports most likely. :confusedshrug:
[QUOTE=LBJMVP]i have direct tv... watch channel, if any, would this be on?[/QUOTE]
It's on FSN.
But here's a live feed.

I wonder if Shabazz and Wiggins are going to be like McGrady+Kobe/Drexler+Jordan?
Also, Anderson doesn't fit with this team of gunners. Too much talent. He needs a team that cuts/moves off the ball.
Cvetkovic and Cizauskas are having a ton of trouble with the press; surprising considering their experience level.
Dario Saric has a lot of Chandler Parsons in his game. Wiggins is by far the best prospect on the world team.
I like Mitch McGary's activity level around the basket. I've always said Kyle Anderson reminds of a Shaun Livingston/Andre Miller hybrid. Livingston's size and Miller's pace of play.
World team choking, get it to Wiggins!
Noel can't catch. Don't get the hype.
How is Shahbaz doing in the second half?
That Shot!!!
wow... andrew bennett from the world team just made the dagger. what a shot!
how the USA missed the rebound on the free throw is beyond me :facepalm

The crazy part is one of them wouldn't even start- Norman Powell is the next UCLA lottery pick pg, Lamb is so much closer to the other two Lambs than ish thinks and having 2 wear brothers in addition to Josh Smith and Stover- with or prob even without shabazz we are talking about the most talented ncaa team next year. 8 nba players on 1 team? Back to how it should be
This year was an all time un explainable fluke, next year UCLa is back

lol norman powell wont be a lottery pick. the wear brothers will probably second rounders or maybe even undrafted. theres no way that shabazz and kyle wouldn't start from day one

if shabazz goes there then they will be amazing. he is a flat out stud and todays game showed it.
whoever gets the number one pick next year will have him and they will enjoy a great ride.
Wang was solid
Is Wiggins going to college next year or he has another year in high school?
[QUOTE=alenleomessi]Is Wiggins going to college next year or he has another year in high school?[/QUOTE]
He's currently in the Class of 2014 but he is almost guaranteed to re-classify to 2013 and challenge Jabari Parker for the #1 spot.
He also wants to get into the Class of 2013 so he can team up with his older brother, who is a Juco transfer in 2012. His brother is being recruited by Oregon, Villanova, Wichita St., Pittsburgh, Oregon State and Baylor. They'll be able to team up for 1 season in 2013-2014 as he'll be a Senior and Andrew will be a Freshman.
