Jorge Garbajosa led the Pau Gasol-free Spaniards, matching Juan Carlos Navarro with 20 points... however, "The Garbage Man" also chipped in 10 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals, and a block.
Jose Calderon played only 15 minutes, making 2-of-7 shots, for 7 points, one rebound, an assist, and a steal.
Hopefully a few solid performances from Jose will lead to a higher level of confidence come the new season in the NBA.
Spain finished fourth back in 1982.
Garbajosa was named to the All-Tournament team, along with Pau Gasol (tournament MVP, despite the broken foot - which apparently requires surgery), Manu Ginobili and Theo Papaloukas. The lone American on the team is Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 19.9 points per game.

i may not be the first to ask, but shouldn't the blog title be changed to "sophmore reporter"?
we can't stay young forever, man, c'mon. you know this.
I took out the whole 'rookie' reference...
Now it's just 'a view from press row'... I add the sophomore factor in the subtext below the title.
oh, and for the record... I can stay young forever... and I will.
