re: AD and USA basketball

AD is a great player and he’s got an incredible team mindset. Being around the guys at this camp is not going to improve him in any way. The only thing they can do is infect AD with their overly inflated and sensitive on and off court egos and/or taking the easy way out mentalities. As a fan of the New Orleans Pelicans, I don’t want AD around any of that garbage unless it’s to go win a gold medal. Also Popovich is on the decline and has absolutely nothing to offer AD at this point other than maybe using the camp as a way to dissect AD’s strengths and weaknesses and use it against him in the regular season. The best way for AD to improve this summer is to work on his own individual skill development and maybe work with Hakeem Olajuwon on some low post moves.
