Marcelinho Huertas

TEAM: Brazil

Position: PG

Marcelinho Huertas will finish this tournament as one of the better passing guards in this group. He’s not a commonly known name in the States, but in Europe he is.

By the way, the 31-year-old Brazilain guard can also light the scoreboard up, if needed.

Huertas averaged 8.9 points and 4.5 assisters per game last season for Barcelona.

Here’s him dropping 32 points against Argentina in 2010.
