If you didn’t know, Bucks’ Bobby Portis is on the US national basketball team for the 2023 FIBA world cup. The USA has been seeking its first world cup victory since 2014.
Bobby has made a solid contribution to the squad so far, adding 7.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals on 52% from the field in 11.6 minutes played per contest in the first 5 group stage games.
37 Point Domination for America:
In a quarterfinal match Tuesday morning, the USA beat Italy 100-63. Bobby Portis had 7 rebounds, 7 points, and a box +19 on only 16 minutes of action in the contest.
His contribution to the Bucks is definitely translating to international play, and you love to see it.
I, and Bucks nation as a whole, would love to see what he puts up in the semi final match versus the winner of Germany and Latvia on Friday.
