Kyle Kuzma Chosen for Team USA Training Camp Roster
入選美國隊訓練營名單
From purple and gold to red, white and blue. After two years of bursting onto
the NBA scene with the Lakers, Kyle Kuzma will put his talents on display for
the U.S. national team.
The Flint, Michigan, native has been selected to compete at USA Basketball
training camp in Las Vegas from Aug. 5-8, culminating with an intrasquad
exhibition at T-Mobile Arena on the 9th.
8月5日-8日(美國時間)將展開訓練營，而8月9日(美國時間)將會有一場表現賽。
Kuzma will look to carve out his place on coach Gregg Popovich’s team, as
the 20-man camp roster will be whittled down to a dozen players for the 2019
FIBA World Cup, held in China from Aug. 31-Sept. 15.
K.Kuzma進入20人名單，看是否能入選最後12人名單參加2019首屆改制後的籃球世界盃。
Kuzma averaged 18.7 points and 5.5 rebounds for the Lakers last season,
ranking second on the team in scoring. Among players selected for USA camp,
he had the ninth-highest points average.
本季K.Kuzma場均18.7分5.5籃板，得分在隊上排名第二，這在這次20人大名單中排名第九
。
The 23-year-old is also one of two camp players (Donovan Mitchell) who are
new to the USA Basketball program.
本次共有兩位首次入選的球員，除了K.Kuzma之外，就是爵士隊的D.Mitchell。
Competition at Kuzma’s primary position, power forward, includes: Harrison
Barnes, Anthony Davis, Tobias Harris, Kevin Love, Paul Millsap, Jayson Tatum
and P.J. Tucker.
名單中K.Kuzma主要競爭對手H.Barnes(國王)、A.Davis(鵜鶘)、T.Harris(76人)、K.Love
(騎士)、P.Millsap(金塊)、J.Tatum(塞爾提克)、P.J.Tucker(火箭)。
Kuzma will look to become the third current Laker with USA senior national
team experience. LeBron James won two Olympic gold medals and one bronze,
while Alex Caruso played on last year’s World Cup qualifying team.
K.Kuzma將成為湖人隊目前對內第三位有國家隊經驗的人，除了L.James之外，就是代表美
國隊去打世界盃資格賽的A.Caruso。
In between Vegas camp and China, Team USA will hold a second camp in L.A.
before playing in an exhibition in Anaheim and three more friendlies in
Australia. The official, 12-man World Cup roster will be announced on Aug. 17
