Utah Jazz Players in the FIBA World Cup(in China)

[stitches]

There is a FIBA World Cup this year so there will be some games with the participation of several of our players.

Gobert will play for France.

Mitchell will participate in Team USA's camps and he will try to make the team for the World Cup .

Joe Ingles reportedly will participate for Australia. Dante Exum will NOT participate.

Because of weird rules and qualifying cycles the Croatian national team didn't qualify for the tournament so it doesn't seem like Bojan will play this summer.

Here's France's schedule this summer(times are in local French time - CET):

[Coach Ellis]

I always hate this. I realize that playing for your country has value and I wouldn’t want to tell them not to play. . . but contracts in the NBA have gotten to the level that a PG type injury is devastating to your title hopes. It’s not worth the risk of injury to be there. Especially since the wear and tear of 82 games is rough. They need their downtime.

 

[Qman]

Gobert, show us the jump hook.

I hope Donovan practices and gets lots of good reps in but doesn't make the team.

Ingles please play 20 minutes a game.

 

[Coach Ellis]

If they must play, I hope they use this time to add new elements to their game. That would be a benefit to them participating.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Straight up hoping The US, France and Australia are eliminated early. This **** is dumb.

Never forget that this is where Exum’s career began to end.

 

[MVP]

Never forget that this is where Exum’s career began to end.

Disagree. He sucked right from the get go.

Disagree. He sucked right from the get go.

Most players suck from the get go, but then they play and sometimes get good enough.

There is no way he’d be the same or worse if he was actually able to play basketball. And if he was, we would’ve stopped waiting to see if he was good or not.
