Hoops is quickly becoming a year-round sport, if not already. Looking forward to AU's season which will be here in a blink and to see how Jabari and Walker do in year 2. Team USA has been fun to watch. Banchero is the real deal. I never knew who Reaves was. They lost to Lithuania, I think a few days ago but just beat the shite out of Italy to reach the semifinals, I think. Highlights here, with a few from Walker if interested. 'Merica!!! USA destroys Italy

I watched the 1st few games but lost interest because Kessler wasn't playing much

I have watched every game except Italy (I think it was. It didn't record for some reason. The game Tues.). Kessler is the last big off the bench. He is an elite D player. His O game is still very very lacking.

Thanks for the correction. I didn't watch the game or the highlights after I saw that they lost a close one. Like you, I have watched a bit less because Walker wasn't playing that many minutes, but I have enjoyed watching and getting to know the other players. They have a good team and seem to be having fun out there. Will def. catch their remaining games.

Kessler is a very good NBA 5 man already. However, the prototype for an NBA 5 man is not exactly cut out well for the way the international game has evolved.
