Great, thanks. After Treys crappy summer league, some were drooling over this kid. He is 21. Hopefully he is ready to move up after this year. I don't know what kind of player he projects to be.

De Colo offensive foul to end the 1st.

 

[nuraman00]

Kleiza with a Carmelo Anthony esque show-the-ball and fadeaway.

 

[nuraman00]

These teams always seem to stick to the strong side of the ball. They never pass it to the weak side to try and break down the defense there.

France up 50-34 halftime.

 

[nuraman00]

France is getting so many layups and dunks I feel like I'm watching a flex offense.

 

[nuraman00]

Congrats to France. They didn't show the ceremony on the replay.
