TP for posting this.  I love seeing the young guys putting in the work in the offseason.  I especially like seeing them working on skills with a trainer and working on their bodies.  I prefer that to playing competitive basketball like Olynyk always did with team Canada or pickup games.

IIRC KO only played for team Canada once as a Celts. I think that was his rookie season or the 2nd and the rest he didn't because he was injured/recovering. I don't think he went into a off-season without an injury except his last season (I think). I don't remember to say it's exact but he may not have played with them his entire Celts career. I do remember reports that he was upset one time because Celts wouldn't give him permission to play for Canada (afraid of him exacerbating an injury or something).
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

I thought he played or at least practiced with Canada multiple summers.  Maybe, I'm wrong.
I remember seeing stats in the past showing high rates of injury for players following a summer of playing for team USA or other countries.  I think they play enough basketball and are better off working on shooting, ball handling, etc. while being pushed and coached by trainers.

Always amazed at how many 3 together.great shooters can put down in a row when practicing. Tatum's stroke is silky smooth. I can see him pushing 50% from 3 for a season in the future. Maybe won't get it but would anyone be surprised at 48% given the lack of double teaming he will receive and the fact a team won't know who on the wing gets their best defender Hayward, Brown or Tatum. All 3 players could be looking at a ton of wide open threes when they are on the court together.

He needs to add muscles and improve finishing with contract. Working off the ball needs to be addressed too.

Its effective but let’s not get crazy.  Tatum actually has a hitch as he goes up which actually bugs me.  But if it works for him, I guess that’s all that matters.
