I know Noch is not going up against NBA studs right now, but I think th eexperience will do him good, just likw Kirk on the USA team.....and shootimg lights out in any game is welcome info for a fan whos team has great defense, but a somewhat shakey offensive presence.
Not to pick a nit here but I wouldn't call Noce a shaky offensive player at all. He turned it up last year and hit for 13 ppg : 46% from the field, 39% from 3pt range, and 84% from the foul line - all vast improvements from his rookie year. A definite contender for most improved player and clutch in the post season.
That being said, I agree that the int'l competition will do him good. Argentina could easily give the U.S. a run for their money.
