I'm an Australian and will be going to one of the Argentina-Australia games, can you give a little more info on these players. Which ones are the standouts, any potential NBA players?

Thanks....

I don't know but remember the name Matías Nocedal being considered an NBA lottery pick some years ago.

Don't know if there're any potential NBA players, don't think so unless Nocedal starts to deliver all that some scouts expect from him. But I can name me most promising ones: Aside from Matías Nocedal, a kid who has been going back and forth from SG to PG and belongs to Baskonia; i can name Facundo Campazzo, a tiny PG with great shooting, leadership and individual pressing defense; SG Nicolás de los Santos, owned by Granada, who is also able to play the point and has evolved into a defender and slasher mostly. And PF Aguerre, a talented inside scorer who has the huge problem of not being able to gain enough weight.

There's been a change in the Development roster: SF Pablo Espinoza, 2,00 tall, 23 years old, MVP of TNA (Argentine second division league), replaces Franco Rocchia.

Oberto received OK from doctors and is very likely to play at the WC.

Carlos Schattmann got 7 threes in the second half (5 in the last quarter) for you guys against Australia last night.

I just watched this game. Argentina looked pretty bad. Gonzalez and Gutierrez have both dropped very far. I used to think that both those players could make it in the NBA ten years ago, but they both looked bad. Gonzalez looked like a balloon. He had trouble getting up and down the court and was constantly complaining to the refs. Gutierrez was only slightly better, but he looked like he had twenty pound weights on his ankles.

For their part, Chile played well. I don't know any of their players, but their center, Briones (#11), is very talented. Very smart. Unfortunately, he looked like he was pushing 35-years-old. Chile's guards were also impressive in comparison with the "B" guards of Argentina.

Where did you watch it Matt? TV replay?

Yeah. I'm in Costa Rica right now, so I get TyC, an Argentine sports network, from my neighbor's cable.

I also saw the 94-73 win for Argentina. Again, I was not impressed with Argentina. Argentina was still pretty slow, but Chile's players looked exhausted. I know that Gonzalez had 19 points, but he still looks terribly out of shape to me. It's a shame.

Nocioni: 'We can handle anyone'

Luis Scola on board boosts Argentina Morale

SALTA (2010 FIBA World Championship) - Luis Scola is on board, and Argentina are dreaming big going into the FIBA World Championship.

Confirmation that Scola's NBA insurance has been secured, freeing him to play, has provided Argentina with a major boost during their training camp in Salta this week,

Now the players are focused on securing a medal in Turkey.

"We have a great chance," Andres Nocioni told Ole. "It will not be easy, but we only lost the semi-final in Japan (four years ago) by a single point."

Argentina lost the semi-final 75-74 to eventual champions Spain at the 2006 FIBA World Championship.

Scola's arrival in camp means Argentina have three NBA players on board, Andres Nocioni and Carlos Delfino the others.

Manu Ginobili is missing, but Nocioni is backing Delfino to make fans forget about any absentees.

"Manu attracts a lot of attention and frees up shots for everyone," he said. "But Carlos can do very well. We lose something, but we will win through Delfino.

"This year I saw him playing for Milwaukee at a very high level and if he can repeat, no one will remember Manu is not here."

Andres Nocioni is expected to recover in time for the FIBA World Championship in Turkey from the severely sprained ankle incurred during training camp with the National Team.
