Jose Calderon is not accustomed to riding the bench, but that is exactly what he has been doing in Spain’s first two losses of the Rio Olympics. Calderon received a DNP-CD in the loss against Croatia and played fewer than two minutes in the loss to Brazil, but he remains a team player and is focused on the bigger picture.
Calderon is not getting playing time due to the improved play Ricky Rubio, Sergio Rodriguez, and Sergio Llull. It is not easy to watch your team struggle when you are on the bench, but the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers is keeping a positive attitude.
