Nice! If Motum makes the Jazz then we could have up to 8 players on NTs (Hayward, Kanter, Gobert, Neto, Tomic, Dante, Motum) and Select teams (Burke).

GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Motum looks like he needs to take 2 years off to serve an LDS mission.

Elder Hayward and Elder Motum. Can I pass around a calendar so we can make sure they have dinners scheduled every night?
 
Motum is a guy that I can see getting that 14th or 15th spot and spending the whole year up in Idaho. Even if he doesn't make the cut, I hope he plays for the Stampede.
 
Am I worrying too much when I think that having too many players at the World Championship might make Jazz players get tired at the end of the season?

I really don't know how many games a national team plays if it goes all the way in this tournament.
 
Anyone want to guess the weight on that huge guy on Australia's team?

I'm going to say 305 lbs.

Good call

Since the Jazz have no playoff expectations, I don't think it's a big issue for this season.

By the way, any word yet on whether Neto will make Brazil's team? I've read that he's one of two players under consideration for the final two spots.

uh...ok...then he will make the team.
 
Someone needs to do some photoshops with dantes face there. it looks prime for it.

Mr. Jawai was a 2nd round pick of Toronto a few years back and played some in Idaho when he was the Raptor's property. He does have NBA experience and i think is playing in Europe now. He was horribly out of shape when he played for Idaho.
 
So how many of the Australian NT have NBA experience?

Jawai, former nba player (huge guy)
Dellavedova, current Cavs backup guard
Bairstow, 2014 draft pick, Bulls backup Center
Aron Baynes, end of bench guy but has a ring as you know
David Andersen, former Hornet, washed up stretch 4-5
Joe Ingles, quality SF in Europe. I Love his game.

Dante-Motum...
