Shabazz Napier-Puerto Rico National Team

[PRHusky]

Shabazz, whose mother is from Puerto Rico, has confirmed his participation this summer with the Puerto Rico National Team. You can read a little more about it here http://www.elnuevodia.com/enellimbolosenebeistasdecaraalrepechaje-1236222.html (Spanish).

This does note mean he is officialy part of the team, but he will practice with the team and have the chance to make the official roster for the Olympics play-in tournament in Venezuela and the Olympic Games should Puerto Rico advance.

Even if he does not make the team, this should be a great experience for him.

Who is the coach this year?

Flor Melendez, a local veteran coach. He has done a very good job since taking over last year when Pitino decided not to coach the team.

Now, we need some solid summer experiences for Boat, Roscoe, Daniels, & Tyler. My guess is Giffey will return to the German nat'l team. Who knows about Wolf.

Most of the guys you have named will probley be playing run and gun no defense at the Hartford Pro Am this summer. Alot of local talent comes and plays but basically just good pick up!
