France National Team 2013

[greenarcher]

I wonder when France will play with their best line-up. There are always good players missing from their rosters.

Just imagine if they had:

Parker
De Colo
Batum
Diaw
Noah

Mahinmi
Beaubois
Gelabale

So does anyone know why Mahinmi, Beaubois and Mickael Pietrus are not going to be part of the team?

Mahinmi declined. He said something about a communication problem with the federation ... .
Beaubois fractured a hand in March and hasn't played since, if I'm not mistaken. And it's not like France is in dire need of players at his position.
Mikael Pietrus is not in Vincent Collet plans since 2011 so unless he has a great season ... and he played something like 20 games with Toronto and most of them before January.
