VJ Edgecombe (Baylor) had 20pts I think. Donnie didn't do much.

He's got two NBA big men ahead of him, and a few other quality bigs with experience as well.

This is such a great experience for him.

On a side note, he looks like he's put on a lot of muscle, I'd bet he's nearly 220 now. Good work with the weights!

EDIT: Edgecomb (Baylor '24 recruit) seems to be a top3 player on the Bahamas squad, beating out even NBA player Gordan for minutes. He's a terrific prospect. But Ayton (Trailblazers) and Hield (76s) are the best players so far.

It's a little disappointing the coaches decided to go with a three guard lineup with Eric Gordan (76s) but not really surprising, considering their best players. The only reason that I'm mildly discouraged is that Freeman didn't beat a couple shorter veteran euro pros for the rotation forward minutes. I figured he would be at least the first forward off the bench after looking at the roster.

That's fine. Imagine the experience he is having and the level of play he is surrounded by to get two DNPs. Fantastic stuff for a young man.

Oh absolutely- Edgecombe is more of 2/3 so not surprised he is getting the run he is.

So close, yet so far.

Another DNP for Donnie. Great experience, though.

For sure. He's been practicing with NBA players for weeks. You know he learned a thing or two.

All that we could have hoped for. This will reap benefits far beyond if he had been here for that time.
