“Coach K keeps that in his back pocket until it’s go time.” “We don’t know,” Gay said of the team’s starting lineup. But Gay hasn’t been told whether he’ll be in the same spot in the future.
Gay’s place in the starting lineup of the White team for the day’s final scrimmage - alongside Derrick Rose, James Harden, Stephen Curry and Anthony Davis - essentially confirms Colangelo’s statement.

CHICAGO - Rudy Gay was a late addition to this summer’s USA Basketball roster, joining the team after mini-camp in Las Vegas had ended and only being needed by the squad thanks to the unfortunate injury suffered by Paul George.īut even though he came aboard less than a week ago and went through his first practice with the team Thursday as training camp resumed in Chicago, Jerry Colangelo believes that Gay has a very real shot at making the 12-man roster for the FIBA World Cup, which tips off later this month.
