Dominique Malonga was an INCREDIBLE sequence.

Forces the A'ja miss, runs the floor, get the bucket AND the foul. After her made FT they are up 1!

Aces ball.

I know the numbers but barely noticed him in the game. Franz Wagner had a bigger impact.

That 1956 team looks impressive but then you have a look at the teams the beat in the group stage:

- Philippines
- Japan
- Thailand

To be fair, Embiid has lived for over 10 years in the US, he has a genuine connection to the country and thus has qualified for a passport the regular way.

Unlike Lorenzo Brown & Anthony Randolph who got their passports via executive fiat (as did Embiid in France)
