Better to have him there than with Kobe.

Dang, no one from the Celtics will be in that lineup huh

Jayson needs basic ball handling drills and more work on that body. Maybe watch some game film of Siakam with the Raptors. I'm not convinced this is a good move for him.

Great, so he'll tire and wear down sooner during the NBA season.

No Congratulations to Tatum on this accomplishment? With fans like these no wonder why Kyrie wants to leave.

I'm surprised nobody in the "all in for Davis camp" claimed that this is good for the trade because it increases the value of Tatum status around the league

If I remember correctly, working with team USA has been correlated with improvement in many young players. Maybe it's just because they choose the players most likely to develop, but anyway I don't see this as a bad thing at all.

Kyle Kuzma is on that list too.

You're right. Then the USA selection means absolutely nothing.

Not nothing, but not all that much either.  If I recall correctly, smart was at that camp at one point too.

He’s going to be in a competitive environment with great players.

Could be a lot worse.
