USA nearly finalized their roster. I think Haliburton, Edwards, Banchero, Bridges may be their main guys. Most of the guys will have issues to adjust to fiba half court offense, IMO. A lot will depend on their shooting. Haliburton, Reaves shooting 40% in NBA. Some others are solid shooters, but no deadly shooters us Curry obviously. For our perimeter guys it will be hard to defend, cause Haliburton and Bgridges have super long wingspans. Also looking at JV's number versus Grizzlies it's not nice (JJJ as the opponent) - 2, 4, 6, 4 points games this season...Maybe because of Grizzlies game style overall hopefully. Against other big man Kessler JV also did not too well - 6, 15, 6 points games. Both terrific shot blockers. But essentially JV is much bigger and stronger than both. NT obviously will emphasize JV's presence so maybe he can establish certain domination down low. Banchero should be held by Sedekerskis. He's still young so not necessary will go off big time. It's hard to say where Lithuania's best chances. Maybe playing perfect pick and roll offensively and scoring in the post. Obviously the goal is to slow the game down as possible. Don't see us winning, but under certain conditions we may have an interesting game.
