Nice. Hopefully they both blow up like Gobert did.

No Lyles on team World?

I'm surprised Lyles didn't make it.

If they didn't do this international format Lyles would be well deserving.

Lyles has been way more impressive than Neto.

 

[The Midnight]

I'm surprised Lyles didn't make it.

Well Randle didn't make it also...

Maybe Neto will do exciting Euro stuff in that game... I also think this is the NBA recognizing Neto's attractiveness. They are selling the game.

Were there more U.S. players -- you know, like Turner, Johnson, Kaminsky, WCS, Booker, Payne, Winslow and such?
