Message: [QUOTE="orangefog, post: 1848336, member: 293"] I think another big factor is, how many NBA stars are on the international teams? Not many. These guys are used to playing a role. Most of the US players are not used to playing without the ball or setting picks for other players, at least not real picks. They are more used to setting a token pick and then rolling off of it to receive the ball. They don't seem to know what to do when they don't have the ball. The good international teams play hard, they play tough and they play together. Even when the US players check their egos at the door, they still have to figure out what their role is going to be within the team. From the games that I have seen, everyone has been trying to defer to KD on offense instead of constant movement. Some of these teams are fun to watch as they keep the ball moving and each player keeps moving until they have an easy layup. [/QUOTE]
