Team USA Looking Good

August 24, 2007

Team USA has played two games this Summer and they have looked pretty good in both of them. They are pushing the ball, hitting outside shots, getting to the line, and playing solid defense. The addition of better point guards, defenders, and shooters to the team has made a big difference. The biggest problems I see with the team is the free throw shooting, the lack of post guys that can really make respectable post moves and score, and the fact that they seem to lay back when they get a good lead.

Right now Carmelo Anthony has been the best player which is not surprising since he has the best inside/outside game of any player on the team. He can shake someone down in the post on one play, run the break and handle the ball on another, and spot up for a three pointer on another.

Even thought the USA is ballin they still have a ton of games let and their toughest competition has yet to come.
