Baker and VanVleet Invited to Team USA Tryouts.

[Cdizzle]

Looks like not too many people are going to push Fred off the ball...

Also, apparently Ron is a giant jerk and stole Fred's number :)

[proshox]

These should receive some excellent coaching this week. No doubt that staff knows their stuff.

[Dave Stalwart]

Isaac Haas, and we had a good shot at him.

YA DAAAAMMMNN RIGHT....

[RoyalShock]

Good grief. Who is the 8 foot tall guy in the middle!?

Except for the guys on the end of the 2nd row, they are all standing on risers. But yes, that guy is still tall.

YA DAAAAMMMNN RIGHT....

... and "The Duke!"

He's too short to play at that level.

Just give him a taller riser. He'll be fine.

Man I hope he did that on purpose.

First four cut from the team. RB and FVV still in the running for guard positions according to USA Basketball tweet.

[WSUwatcher]

Well, four cuts left to go, probably three guards and one big (the remaining 16 are two centers, five forwards, and nine guards). And Turgeon will probably lobby for Trimble, so that fills one guard slot.

Go get 'em, Fred and Ron.

Cutting two forwards wouldn't be out of the question would it? 6 guards filling 3 spots seems sort of risky.

[Dave Stalwart]

Ron and Fred are the best two guards there. It's some stiff competition, but don't hold your breath on them getting cut. If someone asked me to rank the 9 guards, they would not be in my bottom half. I'm pretty sure this team wants to win actual basketball games, not just compile a list of NBA prospects. Those coaches know they can take Ron and Fred straight to the bank. They also know that the tandem gains you more than just one or the other because they have a ton of experience together. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd predict them as the starters before I'd predict them getting cut.

[Dave Stalwart]

Have to say that is an odd group.

I doubt Bobby Brown will make it though; he always wants things his way.

I just now got this. :) It's his prerogative...

Ohhhh! Hahahaha!

I thought maybe he was a Burger King guy and the team was sponsored by a competitor.
