As hoop heads get antsy for the Regular Season to tip-off October 27th we are occupying ourselves with FIBA’s Olympic qualifying tournaments. Leading up to the regular season things will ramp up at the end of September as training camps begin and the NBA 2015-16 preseason games will give us our first look at teams as they finalize their rosters.
