The last minute was crucial for us

 

[tremonthustler1]

even tho the quarters are 10 mins

these quarters go so fast. they must have less timeouts available

only the coach can call them and they don't have as many official ref stoppages

 

[Omar Little]

Man TLC is easy on the eyes pause

 

[Rell Lauren]

Holiday is not a distributor. Why isn't KD touching the ball?

They not gonna let someone go from a smaller country to a team like USA

Hakeem played for team USA breh, anything is possible

You think they just lack fundamentals? Are they just soft? KAT playing for DR and I don't know about Ayton.

See the above on KAT. I think our bigs are suffering from a change in the way the game is played more than anything else. Mobley and guys like Holmgren and Banchero to come are early American bigs to embrace the transition and play with modern skills.

I'd imagine bigs suffer the most from the American HS/AAU system. They grow up towering over kids and just dominating them on height alone. There are problems with AAU for perimeter guys, but at least they still need to hit 3s and break someone down off the dribble. Bigs in Europe are pros at a young age. They're not only playing other big kids all the time, but they get reps with grown men. Probably makes you tougher, stronger, and more comfortable with contact, but also forces you to develop skills and find ways to be productive, especially perimeter skills I'd imagine where your lack of strength compared to older dudes is minimized. I also think Europe just tends to have better skill development in the first place simple perks of being professional and getting to dedicate your life to the game without silly restrictions.
