9:59pm, 6 June 2025Basketball

In recent years, although many NBA players have performed well, they have never been recruited by the Dream Team. They also hope to prove their value on the FIBA ​​field, so they also chose to play for the men's basketball team in other countries. For example, Eric Gordon, who once played in international competitions for the US team, changed his nationality before and became a member of the Panama Men's Basketball Team. Not long ago, Norman Powell of the Clippers and Josh Minnot of the Timberwolves had confirmed to join the Jamaica Men's Basketball Team. In addition to these two, as five NBA stars are about to join, there are many Thompson brothers. In a short period of time, the once weak Jamaican men's basketball team will rise rapidly and may even cause considerable storms in the North American championships. Let’s take a look at who these five stars are and how they performed!

1. Scottie Barnes

This season's data: 19.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1 block

, the biggest name is Barnes of the Raptors. Although he has only finished his fourth NBA season, Barnes has achieved a lot of achievements, and he has won the honors such as the Best Rookie Trophy and All-Star lineup. And more importantly, he is now the core of the team. Although he failed to help the team make the playoffs this season, Barnes performed well at that time, averaging 19.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1 block per game. The offensive end is gradually becoming more comprehensive, and the defensive end can defend from No. 1 to No. 5. It can be said that he is the most "pie-good" player in the NBA today. In the international arena, Barnes has actually represented the three major echelons of the United States, U16, U17 and U19, participated in the Youth America's Cup and World Cup events, and has three gold medals in intercontinental events. In fact, if Barnes continues to maintain a steady pace of progress, he will have a chance to be selected for the Dream Team in the future. But obviously, he can't wait to return to the FIBA ​​field again. If he can reach a cooperation with the Jamaican men's basketball team this time, Barnes' arrival will have a significant improvement on the team's offense and defense.

2. Isaiah Stewart

This season's data: 6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks

Although Stewart only played one game due to injury, he bid farewell to this year's playoffs, but fortunately his injury is not that serious. Although his Pistons team has been eliminated, Stewart is not willing to usher in the offseason like this. In order to maintain its state, I also want to experience the FIBA ​​arena. Stewart also had contact with the Jamaica Men's Basketball Team and had the hope of becoming a member of the team. Although Stewart's playing time has been reduced a lot this season and has been placed on the bench, he can maintain enough vitality when playing, both offensively and defensively, and help the team win as much as possible. Although the average of 6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks per game is not that impressive, Stewart's role is not fully demonstrated by the data. As the team's legendary Ben Wallace said, Stewart has the shadow of the iron-blooded Pistons back then. Under his control, the team's defense has improved significantly this year. After going to the FIBA ​​arena, there is no limit on defense for three seconds. Perhaps Stewart will perform better defensively to help the Jamaican men's basketball team improve their performance.

3. Devin Vassel

This season's data: 16.3 points, 4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals

In addition, the 24-year-old Spurs forward guard swingman Vassel is also in talks with the Jamaica Men's Basketball Team. Although Vassel has not been able to fully play a performance that meets the expectations of fans and the team, he still has 16.3 points, 4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals. In addition, his technical characteristics are very consistent with the FIBA ​​arena. In this era when three-point shooting is popular, Vasser still maintains the central shot that the older generation of stars rely on to become famous, and of course he also has a certain three-point shooting ability. If you want to attack the city and capture the village in the FIBA ​​field, you need this kind of star with excellent mid- and long-range shooting skills. In addition, Vassel is not only attacking, but his defense is also good. If he really hits the FIBA ​​field, his importance will not even be lower than Barnes. Of course, Vassel also has some flaws, such as his offensive ability is not stable, and he often obsessesses with shooting. Once the touch is cold, it can easily cause damage to the team. However, to be fair, if Vassel can really join the Jamaican men's basketball team, the impact on the team will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

4. Thompson Brothers

This season's data: 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks (Amen)

10.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks (Osal)

Finally, let's introduce the Thompson Brothers. Unlike the above three, the father of the two brothers is innocent Jamaicans. Therefore, although Amen was selected as a sparring team for the US Olympic team last summer, as the Jamaican men's basketball team gave them an olive branch, they were willing to fight for Jamaica without any hesitation. Since entering the NBA, these two brothers have established starting positions in the Rockets and Pistons respectively. In this year's playoffs, brother Amen can contribute 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists. Although his younger brother Osal is not as outstanding as Amen, he also has 11.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1 assist in the playoffs.. The characteristics of the two brothers are also very similar. With top athletic talents, they perform extremely amazingly on the defensive end and are already the number one defensive vanguards of their respective teams. On the offensive end, he loves to fight at the basket, and is good at converting offense and defensively and using fast breaks to complete the end. Of course, they also have flaws, and the flaws are completely consistent, that is, they lack the ability to shoot three-pointers. However, they are only 22 years old after all, and there is a complete opportunity to make up for these shortcomings in the future. Once these five players can join at the same time, the defense of the Jamaica men's basketball team will become quite terrifying. After all, these five players are all stars famous for their defense. If they can develop tacit understanding on the offensive end, perhaps they will become another team that threatens the Dream Team in FIBA.
