Drummond getting cut while Plumlee stays on is a travesty.

Makes for great recruiting, though. Come to Duke and you have a great shot at playing on a world-wide level and in the Olympics. Go to another university and you won't have an inside track. I think everyone sees this for what it is: recruiting, donations, etc. But we can't complain too loudly. After all, our head coach has Duke ties.

AS for Parsons vs. Hayward, I agree Gordon is more versatile. But he's also coming off a bad year. Selfishly, I'd actually like to see him cut from the team. Might give him a chip on his shoulder and incentivise him to start working with Snyder immediately. Time with Quin is likely >>> time with the US team (especially since he hardly plays). I like the report that Gordon and Quin have been conversing on a regular basis. Now he needs to get to work on learning the new Jazz offense and what his role (and position) will be.

If this were an NBA tournament, you guys may have a point…but it's not.

Plumlee fits the role they want him to play better. Drummond can't hit free-throws, and that's a big deal. Would I take Drummond over Plumlee in the NBA? Without a doubt, not even close. In FIBA ball, as just a role player? Depends on what type of team I have.
 
Does anyone else find Exum's sub patterns to be odd. in with 5 to go then out with 2 to go?

Starting the 2nd half then in with 8 to go in the same quarter? That means he came out and went back in...

That's my mistake... by off i meant... he's on the bench lol...
 
Newly traded Erik Murphy will play for Finland.

No Drew Gooden as speculated. (Believe it or not he's half Finnish. I mean both Finland and being washed up...
Finland is in the same group with USA and Turkey.
