Unfortunately I don't get ESPN360, but it can't be a good sign that Horford can't even get shots on the Dominican Team. What are they doing? Just running everything Through Charlie V?

Luis Flores and Francisco Garcia have attempted 57 of the team's 123 field goals and 31 of 49 free throws.

Horford's never been a heavy-lifter in an offense. The Florida offense during his junior year was ridiculously, perfectly balanced, and, though people tend to forget it, Joakim Noah was the team's leading scorer (per possession at least) during their first national championship season.
