At least its something!

Boogie's game is going to speak for itself, and the bond that will build between he and Rudy is gonna make opening night on Oct. 29 against the Warriors even more incredible.

That's freaking awesome. AWESOME for his development, for our team, everything. That it's happening with Rudy as apparently the backup 4... this is about as good an offseason we could have hoped for for our two best players, regardless of how they do at the tourney.

This is going to put to rest a lot of the irrational hate and disrespect that comes his way. Positive exposure. Playing for country. Loyalty, respect, and effort. The haters will fade.

Damn I'm getting excited for this season!

Also, this should be moved to the main forum so it will get more discussion.

Yup. This experience is going to pay dividends in multiple ways for Cousins, Rudy, and the Kings. I expect somewhat improved play. I dont expect either of them to improve too much as i think they were both monsters on the court last year. Learning what its like to be on a winning team at this level is huge for Demarcus. The added chemistry that Demarcus and Rudy will build will only help us A: win more games and B: resign Rudy.
