It's tonight on ESPN at 8pm.
The Cousins thing makes no sense to me because K was very recently heaping tons of praise Cousin's way on his work ethic and attitude.
Maybe Coach just has a thing for his former Dukies? I dunno.

Yeah not sure about that one
I am a big Derrick Rose fan for the same reason I'm a fan of The Brow.
They play at an elite level and they don't talk about it.
They just do it.

They still have tonight's game and maybe some exhibition games before the roster is selected. Cousins is clearly better than Plumlee, but if Plumlee makes the roster over Cousins it wouldn't surprise me because this team doesn't need the center to be a scorer. They just need a high energy guy that can rebound and play defense and run the floor. If Cousins can't be that guy, then he won't make the roster.
Which is funny because Rose plays under the Adidas brand :D
As far as the Cousins/Plumlee thing, the Olympic team is about fit as much as talent. Remember Cousins has had high profile feuds with Chris Paul, and even though Paul won't be on this squad, it stands to reason that he's bumped heads with a few roster members and maybe Coach K didn't think it was a good idea to risk chemistry issues.
A Jazz fan from another forum provided some insider info (no source, though, so take it how you will): "The Jazz play by play guy David Locke was on the radio today when this rumor started breaking. He said his friend was covering team USA practice and told him he watched Cousins make a low post move, believe he got fouled, flip out and punch a wall all while his team was playing 4 on 5 defensively on the other end. Maybe Coach K doesn't want to waste his time and effort dealing with childish behavior."
Didn't even think about the irony of Rose promoting Adidas. (My brain has not adjusted to the weekend yet)
I want to like Cousins for his talent but his attitude is so terrible. He always has a scowl on his face. It makes me want him to fail.
Who thinks Brow will outscore Durant tonight?
I saw Cousins pouting when he was pulled for AD in last years scrimmage. Was my last straw with him. Upset that a teammate was out shining him? No good.

But I guess like Shaq said, he is the last.
Tbh, I'd rather Drummond make the team over plumlee. Watching the Freshman Shophmore game made me really like him. Dude seems to be humble and has a good personality. Plus he would give USA a beast at C if Cousins is crazy. Honestly, I'd rather Miles Plumlee over Mason.
Funny how AD will be getting the majority of his minutes at C in a more physical league but some people here said he's too small for NBA full-time C.

New uniforms.
Can't wait to watch AD tonight!
So is it safe to say that KD, AD, Kyrie, Harden, and Paul George make the team!?!? lol
I want to see Harden play defense.
Man that block on Carmelo is straight butter.
AD looks BIG
AD got the mic for the pregame speech to the crowd
Let's go AD!!!!!!!!!
