LONDON -- After a year of speculation over whether seasoned internationals from the 15-a-side code would make the transition across to Sevens in time for the Olympics, just one made the Team GB cut: Scotlands Mark Bennett.It seems to keep the status quo after South Africa included Juan de Jongh, Fiji brought in Leone Nakarawa, the U.S. plucked Chris Wyles out at the last minute and New Zealand had their experienced cross-code superstar Sonny Bill Williams.The message from the Team GB mens head coach is he is envious of no one, but there is still a sense of what if? about the 12-man selection for Rio.What if the Rugby Football Union had struck a deal with the clubs allowing Amor to get access to players like Christian Wade during the Sevens World Series?What if Wade and other interested parties, Jack Clifford included, had been given time to run out on the Sevens scene and prove their worth ahead of the Olympics??What if George North or Danny Cipriani had been given time to state their claim? What if ... what if?Such questions will probably be loudly if Team GB falls short in Rio de Janeiro, and the mens side is the most competitive of tournaments with any one of six teams capable of lifting gold.But as last seasons Sevens Series showed with Scotlands incredible triumph at Twickenham, explosions of unpredictability and laughter in the face of form are rife in Sevens.The closest Team GB boast to a box office name is Bennett, but the Scotland international has been named in the 12-man party alongside Ollie Lindsay-Hague and Marcus Watson, and those two have played on numerous legs of the global Sevens series despite being contracted to Aviva Premiership clubs.Amor has largely gone for the tried and tested instead of rolling the dice. It is an England-dominated selection, too, with eight making the cut alongside two from Scotland and a Welsh duo.Fiji are the team to beat and they pack the most potent cocktail of power, pace, prowess and precision; Team GB perhaps lack in physicality and may struggle in the aerial battle.James Rodwell, Mark Robertson and Sam Cross inclusions are key in the latter area but if they get injured then they will lack replacements in the camp. Similarly, they will struggle in the attritional areas and will look to Phil Burgess for over-the-ball pinching to counter physicality.?Of those omitted, Luke Treharne will feel the most hard done by. Then theres Cory Allen, the Wales centre, who attempted to force his way into contention but left his charge too late, and Joe Simpson, who was ruled out through injury.There is an element of uneasiness about Team GBs prospects -- the poor form of England and Wales in last seasons Sevens Series saw them fall off the crowded pedestal of favourites -- but in skipper Tom Mitchell, there is hope.He is fiercely talented and one of the best playmakers gracing the circuit. His ability to spot space will give Team GB a point of difference. His experience is also invaluable and that is one area the team will not be found wanting in.The lack of wildcards means they are all well drilled in the short-form of the game and have it running through their DNA.But while they are a group who know Sevens like the back of their respective hands, they will only have had a limited number of tournaments together. Team GB have only played in four competitions as a unit, and then they were split across two teams.Compare that to their competitors, who have had an entire Series as a group and Team GB seem to be at a disadvantage.Amors 12-man squad is the just about the best he could have assembled given his situation. They wont go to Rio as favourites but the pressure of an Olympic Games can do strange things to medal-chasers.While England, Wales and Scotland have just three tournament victories between them out of the past 28 legs of the World Series, together they may offer a different, more potent cocktail and there is no better stage to prove that.It all kicks off on Aug. 9 against Kenya for Team GB. Win gold and they will rightly laugh in the face of the naysayers but fall short and that nasty itch of the what if will be hard to ignore.

The Los Angeles Lakers?(4-4) are off to a somewhat surprising start eight games into the 2016-17 season. With a young, talented roster in place, theyre showing quite a bit of promise for the future.Luke Walton, 36, is a new addition to the Lakers sideline, as hes in his first year as head coach. Not only has he proven he can succeed in drawing up Xs and Os, but he also is one of the few coaches in the NBA whos agile enough to get out there on the court with his players.Tarik Black, Thomas Robinson and Julius Randle were all given a chance to score in the post on Walton in practice Wednesday, but the former Laker wasnt going to make life easy for the youngsters.ddddddddddddBlack wasnt able to finish, Robinson mightve been called for a charge in an actual game, and Randle, who was forced to pump fake multiple times, was the only Laker to get a bucket during the workout -- even though it seemed Walton let him score.It turns out?Metta World Peace, whos also 36, isnt the only old-timer on the squad who can still move his feet; add Walton to the list, too.-- Josiah Turner ' ' '
