"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things
Of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax
Of cabbages, and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings."

If that translates to "I'm back, bitches" then you just KNOW you're gonna be the one unlucky schmuck who lands in the Great 8.

Thats basically what it translates to, tho not really "I'm back bitches and I'm gonna win", more "I'm back bitches and I'm gonna harass you about NT stuff".

I'm too poor and/or picky. But mostly poor. HoF pot guys that you could train further go for way too much. And I don't think MVP pot guards could make team USA.

Wait, just checking our your list, how can anyone with Superstar pot make the NT? You're incredibly limited in what the build could look like.

I think you can still find an NT SF build that could be done with superstar, but it's iffy. Otherwise, yeah, I doubt you're going to see many more SS's on the NT.

Superstar guard? Maybe you mean Rodriguez? Rodriguez is a SF. Superstar guards would need a very specific build, agreed.

MVP guards can make it, Ritter and Dennison are good examples of MVP guards who have contributed to the NT. Ugona is HOF, but is less than MVP salary. They probably won't reach Bronson levels but yea plenty of MVP guards in contention.

MVP bigs on the other hand...unlikely at this point, would have to have an interesting SF/PF type build.

Your avatar is the Wall Street Bull, I refuse to believe you are poor. Not only do I demand to see your birth certificate, but I further demand to see your tax returns.

My SF, Poom, is definitely capped. He's got Superstar potential. He's been called up to his countries NT once before, but it's not like he's got any remote chance except for a game that isn't a real contest. I just don't see how a NT caliber SF can be Superstar potential.

Well, I don't know Poom's skills, but certainly not any SS build would be interesting to a NT. E.g., JS & Rb are hugely expensive (re: cap) for SF's, so builds with large doses of those probably won't have space elsewhere. But, Weeks, Tanner & Velasco are all 8 potential, and (with the possible exception of Velasco) are all still in the NT mix. Certainly there are lots of capped 8 pot players that aren't, but with the right build (and training done in the right order) I think it's still possible.
