Boris Diaw is one fat mother****er.
Which one is he? I tried to pick him out and couldn't

Is he #13?
 
That France Team is gonna be so fun to watch!!

Parker
Fournier
Batum
Diaw
Gobert

One of the better starting 5s in FIBA in all honesty.

Then some present and past NBA guys off the bench. However, teams like Spain (even without M Gasol) and Serbia (World Cup finalists) will not be easy to beat.

France just beat Spain-- and I honestly think France > Serbia.

It quite honestly depends on the play of Boris Diaw. If he's out of shape and non-disciplined, it dramatically hurts their team. We saw what he did against the Heat.

Guess who beat France in the semis of last year's World Cup? True look good with all the NBA guys but Serbia has proven they are legit as well.
 
I don't know if it was mentioned previously, but apparently Alex Jensen is an assistant coach for the German National Team and will work individually with Pleiß(since last Sunday) until August 1, when he's officially allowed to join team activities under his NBA contract.

Cool. This is a big positive for the Jazz. What's Jensen's German connection?

Other then just being hired as an assistant coach I do not know of one.

I think it is great that a Jazz coach will be working with Pleiss that much. It will ease his transition and give the Jazz coaching staff more insight into his strengths and weaknesses going into training camp.

My guess is Pleiß. He was hired late June, when the Jazz had his rights and probably a good idea he'd join them.
The official press release states, that they needed someone, who
a) had both FIBA + NBA experience(Maybe individual scouting on NBA opponents)
b) is a good development coach

Maybe the Jazz even wanted him on that team to monitor and steer Tibor's individual offseason workouts. There's another interview with Jensen, where they only published the German version. He's speaking about his work with Gobert, experience as a ball player himself and he wants Pleiß to play with more energy and anger.
 
Hey guys,

The Jazz roster has included at least one Turkish citizen for quite some time now. Let's not cut this trend. FIBA U-18 European championship. Turkey Roster: Furkan Korkmaz. Follow that guy. Draft him. Championship!
