Is this a surprise to anyone on the board that parsons>hayward? As a third option, he had identical stats to hayward's, but shot 53%/37% from the 2/3, compared to hayward's 46%/36%..

Their career %s are much closer. I like Parsons, I think he is underrated. However, I give his additional shooting stats a lot of credit to the other players on his team that got him wide open shots. With the caveat that I, like all of you, am a huge Jazz homer, I think Hayward is an overall better player, and would be a better fit on the USA team. Honestly, I would consider keeping them both on the team. Except for a few teams (mostly Spain) the competition does not have a lot of bigs, and both Hayward and Parsons could play the four as well. I hope he makes it, but based on PT, he probably won't.

I honestly think last year conditioning was part of Gobert's problem at the FT line. I think he has gotten used to a faster paced game and will do fine at the FT this year (knock on wood)

Did anyone actually defend Parsons though? Hayward in Al, Millsap land shot 44%/42%. That 42% from 3 is pretty sexy. . . Against second stringers as a rookie he shot 49%/47% Of course that was with more than half a season with a Jerry Sloan offense.
I like Hayward much better as a defender too.

Makes for great recruiting, though. Come to Duke and you have a great shot at playing on a world-wide level and in the Olympics. Go to another university and you won't have an inside track. I think everyone sees this for what it is: recruiting, donations, etc. But we can't complain too loudly. After all, our head coach has Duke ties.
AS for Parsons vs. Hayward, I agree Gordon is more versatile. But he's also coming off a bad year. Selfishly, I'd actually like to see him cut from the team. Might give him a chip on his shoulder and incentivise him to start working with Snyder immediately. Time with Quin is likely >>> time with the US team (especially since he hardly plays). I like the report that Gordon and Quin have been conversing on a regular basis. Now he needs to get to work on learning the new Jazz offense and what his role (and position) will be.

If this were an NBA tournament, you guys may have a point…but it's not.
Plumlee fits the role they want him to play better. Drummond can't hit free-throws, and that's a big deal. Would I take Drummond over Plumlee in the NBA? Without a doubt, not even close. In FIBA ball, as just a role player? Depends on what type of team I have.
I don't know. I am following the stats sheet not watching the game. It seems like he's not very involved in the game judging by the stats.
That's my mistake... by off i meant... he's on the bench lol...
Oh ok. I was like...what the hell is that coach doing?

Newly traded Erik Murphy will play for Finland.
No Drew Gooden as speculated. (Believe it or not he's half Finnish. I mean both Finland and being washed up...
Finland is in the same group with USA and Turkey.
Hanno!Go Utes!
I thought coach K and coach Boeheim were rivals with Syracuse vs Duke... how can they work together???
