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.
