I do not think in international ball they are use to all of the reaching in he does on steals. I think they are more physical on rebounding and shot blocking. It will be interesting to see the game on the small screen.

The Serbians have been, statistically, the 2nd most dominant team at this tournament. They are definitely making the US earn it today.
