Mike Krzyzewski gave a lot of praise to Rudy Gay (Memphis) and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City and UCLA) when I spoked to him a few minutes ago.
Gay was the most impressive player in the game (he scored 27 points on 11 of 12 from the field) but I thought Brook Lopez (New Jersey and Stanford) and Ronnie Brewer (Utah) were equally impressive, in large part because of the defense they played.
Barring injuries or other calamities, I would think at least four of the 19 players who saw action tonight (Devin Harris of New Jersey had a slight injury and didn't play) will be on the 2012 Olympic team in London.
