Rondo, Chandler and Robin Lopez named to USA Basketball team
Basketball Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was
among three players added to the 2010-12 USA Basketball team, chairman Jerry
Colangelo announced on Thursday.
Also selected were centers Tyson Chandler of the Dallas Mavericks and Robin
Lopez of the Phoenix Suns. USA Basketball opens its 2010 training with a July
19-24 camp in Las Vegas.
"Tyson (Chandler), Robin (Lopez) and Rajon (Rondo) are outstanding additions
to the national team and they help give us the talent and depth required in
making sure we field the very best USA Basketball teams possible," Colangelo
said.
Rondo is coming off a career season with the Eastern Conference champion
Celtics, averaging 13.7 points and 9.8 points over 81 regular season games --
all personal bests for the four-year veteran.
Chandler, whom the Mavs acquired earlier in the week in a five-player trade
with Charlotte, played in only 51 games this past season and put up just 6.5
points and 6.3 rebounds per contest.
Lopez, in his second season in the league, came into his own with the Suns
during the 2009-10 campaign, scoring 8.4 points and grabbing 4.9 boards over
51 games, doubling his production from his rookie year.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
