In just a week (Aug. 17) , the United States FIBA World Cup team will trim to its final roster of 12 players for the upcoming international tournament, and according to a report by the Washington Post, P.J. Tucker of the Houston Rockets is expected to make the final cut. Ben Golliver had this to say:
“The 34-year-old Tucker, a consummate team player on and off the court, was the oldest person invited to Team USA’s FIBA World Cup training camp. The national team’s brass sought his intensity, spot-up shooting and well-timed hustle plays but also his elder statesman perspective and firsthand experience with the international game.
