Pau is the least of our worries when it comes to Spain's bigs if Spain's coach actually lets Ibaka play this time.

A front line of Ibaka and Marc Gasol defensively is scary.

They are showing training camp on NBAtv right now fwiw.

Yes it is. With Pau coming off the bench...that is legit.

They have a very legit roster from top to bottom.

And this being IN SPAIN...yeah, they could give us a run for our money no doubt.

Watching on NBAtv right now.... Coach K loves him some AD

And yea Pau isn't what we need to worry about with Spain... It's Marc and Ibaka.

And I like either 1 of Cousins / Drummond with AD. And I actually think Cousins could play some PF alongside Drummond as well, when AD needs a breather or something. He's got the game and range to play the PF.

Great seeing Rose out there.... But Thibs has got me to nervous watching him out there

I know I would be.

And I would love to see DeRozan out there at the 2 alongside Rose, George, KD, and AD. Dude is a freak and would be nearly impossible for teams to match up with on the international level as a 2. Great size and freakish athleticism at the 2.
