Gordon Hayward, Damon Lillard, Kyle Korver, Chandler Parsons among final U.S. World Cup cuts – ESPN.

“Maybe it kind of catches people by surprise. Yes he’s young, but a 7-foot, 280-pound guy who can run the floor the way Drummond runs and who protects the rim … when you describe all the physical attributes, that’s a hard call to leave a guy at home.”

The rest of the roster is: Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, DeMarcus Cousins, Klay Thompson, Derrick Rose, Rudy Gay, DeMar DeRozan, Kenneth Faried and Mason Plumlee.

Congrats to our Piston!

(And what is wrong with Rose? Why would you be participating in this? Why would we cut Lillard over Plumlee?)
