Good for him, but i were still hoping they'd pick others guys, not him, so his summer would be just rest, pratice and gym.
And if he gets needlessly injured we can always say we would have been champions if...Playing for Team USA isn’t going to hurt his game. He’s playing with the best players in the league and it’s great for making relationships with other stars as well.

If he weren't playing for Australia do you think he wouldn't have still been playing basketball? I'm pretty sure he would still have been playing basketball here in the states in some form or another. Whether pick up games at some gym or practicing with the jazz and his teammates. And he still could have gotten hurt.Yeah, Dante playing for team Australia was a godsend, wasn't it?

I am more than happy to see Donovan spend some time with a guy like Damian Lillard.Good for him, but i were still hoping they'd pick others guys, not him, so his summer would be just rest, pratice and gym.
This is a great honor and accomplishment if he makes it. He’s going to do it at some point. I’m happy for him to do it now then maybe turn it down in future times after he’s had the experience.Could've, would've, should've. Dante got hurt playing a competitive game for Australia in the off season and it ruined his career.
Players need time to rest. That's why you no longer have people playing 40+ minutes every night like they did 15-20 years ago. The more competitive basketball you play, the more you increase the chance of some kind of injury. I'd much rather our players rest up, heal up, and work with trainers and coaches on their game in the summer than play in Mickey Mouse tournaments like FIBA World Cup.
The relationships are happening regardless of team USA.If we were in LA or Miami this would make sense.....
Except there aren't many stars left on the team...Playing for Team USA isn’t going to hurt his game. He’s playing with the best players in the league and it’s great for making relationships with other stars as well.

Lol. Mitchell isn’t made of glassYeah, Dante playing for team Australia was a godsend, wasn't it?
Yes but basketball in controlled settings for developmental purposes with trainers and whatnot is far less likely to result in injured than full on competitive play. Even pickup games or scrimmages have less risk.If he weren't playing for Australia do you think he wouldn't have still been playing basketball?

I mean it would be great if our players only played basketball during actual NBA games and the rest of the time they weren't doing anything physical and they still improved and developed their games anyway.
Unfortunately they need to play basketball in the off season in order to get better.
