How Do You Cut an NBA All-Star? JB Explains (PS; Waters)

Jim Boeheim's biggest job with the USA Basketball is not his role as the top assistant to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski on the U.S. Olympic team.

Coleman checks in at No. 99 in his rankings, meaning Ford expects few players to go through the process that Tyler Ennis and Jerami Grant went through this season.
