I have never been a big Adrian Wojnarowski fan. I mean as a journalist he does very well, but I often find his analysis a little lacking. Then again, maybe that's Yahoo. Either way, Empty the Bench did a fantastic interview with Woj centered around Team USA for their Scribes of the NBA series (if for whatever reason you haven't been reading these, make sure to check them out), and I have newfound respect for the man.
