The Phoenix Suns only had a few players participating in FIBA World Cup for their home countries, and now that short list is reduced by one.
Second year point guard Elie Okobo was cut from Team France yesterday after being unable to grab a role as the third point guard.
Okobo was beaten out by long-term Euro standout Nando de Colo to back up the other point guards: Frank Ntilikina (Knicks) and Andrew Albicy. Ntilikina, who just turned 21 years old, is about to enter his third year in the NBA.
