Question, will the roster for the 2014 World Cup be consisted of the players in this camp? or can players that been on previous FIBA/Olympic teams join also? As long as the bigs from the Olympic team don't join, I think Cousins has a good chance to make the team.
I also don't see how player like Tyreke and Thornton didn't make the roster when there is DeRozan and Waiters on the team.

Another positive media piece on Cousins, this time from Voisin:

Players that have previously played on the USA team, like Kobe, Durant, Lebron, etc. will be welcomed back with open arms. In cousins case, the only player that might return that's a center is Tyson Chandler, so I suspect that most of Cousins competition is at the current camp. The US struggled against Spain last time around because of their lack of big men that could match up, so they'll probably carry more big's this time around, which should improve his chances.
I thought the coverage was terrible! It would nice if they would actually show whats going on, instead of the three of them talking, or people on the sidelines watching. What the hell do they think people tune in for? If all they want to do is have a round table discussion, they could do that in a studio somewhere!
Man, how the heck you were able to determine that is beyond me. You've got better eyes than I do. I mean, they would show 15 seconds of play, and then show the commentators, and then 10 seconds of play, and someone standing on the sideline watching. I'll be honest, I couldn't give you a positive or a negative about anyone there from what I saw.
Second this. One of my few close-up experiences with behind-the-scenes stuff in the NBA was the relationship that Karl Malone and John Stockton had with Larry Miller in Utah. Without Miller stepping up and righting that franchise in the late 80s, who knows what would have happened to those two Hall of Famers' careers. He kept his two superstars happy by maintaining a close relationship with them throughout his tenure, and the franchise hasn't been the same since he passed.
If Vivek is taking the same route with Cousins, that will go miles toward securing the Kings future and giving Cousins a chance to mature into a star.
