My thoughts also

While the coaches finalized the FIBA roster i was wondering what Eric Gordon and Danny Granger were doing on the squad. Gordon let me know what he was doing with 21 points but I still don’t think Granger belongs. I honestly think he’s overrated. But that’s just opinion, still the US has A.I, Durantula and Gay. I thought for sure either Jeff Green or Javale Mcgee would get that spot, especially seeing how much the U.S has been in transition.

I think Granger is underrated in the pros

Though I do agree his per-game numbers are inflated by Indiana’s pace. That said, I agree that he’s probably not worth keeping on this squad, since he duplicated what Iguodala, Durant and Gay bring.
