Rising Stars Challenge Challenge: USA vs. World

[Saint Cy of JFC]

US is really soft outside of the 1 and 2. Any chance that Hood gets a call up?

Hood is injured and won't be reevaluated until after the break.

 

[Hotdog]

USA will probably lose. Gobert is gonna make it real hard for the USA team to score.

 

[Doublea]

I definitely like this format a lot better than in years past. It gives it a reason now.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Gobert is going to eat their souls.

 

[Doublea]

Gobert is going to eat their souls.

If Burke makes it, Gobert will definitely block every shot and tell I'm in a passive aggressive way to stop shooting so much and pass him the lob.

False- Gobert is incapable of passive-aggression. Only knows active-aggression.

 

[LjJazzman]

I feel dirty because i'll be rooting for the world team and not the US. Does that make me a terrorist?

 

[Primetime]

Here are the guys people are going to talk about and are somehow possible for the world team:

Dennis Schröder(Germany)
Kelly Olynyk(Canada)
Giannis Antetokounmpo(Greece)
Rudy Gobert(France)
Andrew Wiggins(Canada)
Jusuf Nurkić(Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Alex Len(Ukraine)
Steven Adams(New Zealand)
Gorgui Dieng(Senegal)
Nikola Mirotić(Spain/Montenegro)
Bojan Bogdanovic(Croatia)
Kostas Papanikolaou(Greece)
Dante Exum(Australia)
Damjan Rudez(Croatia)
Nik Stauskas(Canada)
Joe Ingles(Australia)
Pero Antić(Macedonia)

If you go by performance you would have to take:

Schröder, Giannis, Rudy, Wiggins, Nurkic, Adams, Len, Dieng, Mirotic and Olynyk I would think but that just doesn't seem possible cause this team would have 5 Centers. So Dante kinda has to play.

Maybe something like this:
Schröder(1)
Dante(1/2)
Wiggins(2/3)
Antetokounmpo(2/3/4)
Mirotic(3/4)
Olynyk(4/5)
Rudy(5)
Nurkic(5)
Adams(5)
Dieng(5)

Still not happy but I don't see how you can left out any of these Centers.

 

[Doublea]

Just read that each team had to have 3 rookies. 4 guards, 4 front court players and 2 other players.

Even though this board is douchey about Exum, the media is still very intrigued. There is no way he does not make the team.

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

I really hope the line on this isn't high. Like maybe the U.S. is even favored somehow. Will pound the world.
