Thanks for the link. The itinerary looks like it's all in Central Europe. Wondering if they're traveling by train once they arrive in Frankfort. That would be a beautiful ride in the mountains.

So, are they practicing as a team now? Or, do they just show up and start playing?

They had I believe 10 practices before they leave.

That would be a fantastic trip to follow them and watch the games.

Yes, that would be an awesome trip! Really hoping we can find a stream of these games somewhere...

Not that there aren't some useful things that individuals gain from the PTL, but for the team as a whole this is a lot more important.
This gives them a chance in a game situation against an opponent for the veterans to work on those situational awareness issues that will pay off during the season and for the established players to start to get the newbies on board with functioning within the structure of the team.
On most of the best teams each guy on the court has a good sense of what his teammates are going to do given a situation. Let's hope they get farther down that path.
