[#1 pick]

THEY WERE BOTH FORMALLY OFFERED?

THEN PERHAPS WE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WITH LONZO BALL

Lonzo Ball is a full-court playmaker, the international game is a half-court game.

This is the reason Trae didn't make the roster. Pop is a dumbass who wants to a movement based system with iso-gawds

 

[Rekkapryde]

This may be the future of USA basketball vs the world...

This gotta get mine ISO shyt, foul seeking, 3 point launching, positionless shyt needs to end

Pop coaching looking flabby and sick

I have a theory I just came up with


The FIBA 3 point line in the NBA is the worst shot possible (long midrange 2). Everyone is discouraged from taking that shot in the NBA, and they probably practise it less than any other shot.

This is why the USA struggles to shoot the 3 from the shorter line in FIBA

Im a genius

Also, there's no reason Trae, Ja, Zion, Randle, Lamelo Dwight, Mikal, Cam, I Quickley for more shooting and youthful energyWould've been nice if Steph, Harden, and Bron got together for one last ride. This team is terrible and no Mike coaching

Zion would EAT

 

[Trojan 24]

Zion would EAT

Heavy Z playing that physical FIBA Ball, woulda had Gobert leaving on a stretcher

Why do you think they'd make a pull-up midrange in traffic when they couldn't hit a wide-open 3pt?

This theory that midrange jumpers are automatic is just ignorant.

If you watch the clip, KD and Jrue both had the option of stepping in for a midrange jumper, no traffic. Midrange is KDs bread and butter.

KD midrange - 55%

Jrue Holiday 3pt - 35 %

Jrue Holiday 2pt - 49 %

You do the math

Nah breh

The most important shot in FIBA is a 22 to 23 foot jumpshot

The least important and most discouraged shot in the NBA is a 22 to 23 foot jumpshot.

It's drilled into them to avoid that shot at all costs

Every time the USA loses games internationally, the losses are filled with good NBA 3 point shooters clanging large amounts of wide open 22 to 23 foot jumpers

I figured out the answer to how and why

I'm a genius

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

This shyt very necessary. I’d honestly love nothing more than NBA style basketball to be outclassed and outmatched by something more respectable. fukk these nikkaz and their retarded ass three spamming.
