1) Julyan Stone signs a 2yr contract with the Charlotte Hornets. I'm guessing he got the attention of the NBA with that European Championship win.
2) The official starting line up for the Costa Rica trip is Gilyard, Touchet, Flaggert, Smith, & Willms. Granted it was a random line up ticket chosen. I think all of these players will start this year some time, but Gilyard & Smith are very green still. All in all, these newbies starting will give them some much needed confidence.
