Tim Reynolds: Pop on Bam, who was cut by USA Basketball last summer: “He’s actually, from what I see, he’s a different player now that he was when we had the tryouts. In general, when I said he wasn’t quite ready, he didn’t show what he can really do. I think that was maybe a product of the guys that he was around. He was in a different environment. He probably deferred more than he needed to. Maybe he was a little unsure of himself, that kind of thing. If that same tryout was today, he’d look a lot differently at it.””
