June 26, 201610 yr It may be the B Team but the only garbage player on the team is Harrison Barnes. I mean seriously. He's worse on this team than Laettner was on the Dream Team. Other than Barnes I like the roster. They won't lose.
June 27, 201610 yr I thought Kyrie Irving was going to play. Do we not consider him a top PG? He joined after we posted that.
June 27, 201610 yr Kinda what everyone else has said. The USA talent sucks right now and will for the next few years.
June 27, 201610 yr I think the USA still wins the gold relatively easy. Cousins, Durant, Thompson, Irving, Anthony...these guys are really, really good.
June 27, 201610 yr It's all about how this comes together as a team. We still have the most talented players at all five positions.
June 28, 201610 yr It's all about how this comes together as a team. We still have the most talented players at all five positions. Along with one of the greatest coaches ever to lead them.
June 28, 201610 yr Kinda what everyone else has said. The USA talent sucks right now and will for the next few years. You just say stuff for the sake of saying stuff these days, huh? :lol2: :lol2:
July 3, 201610 yr You just say stuff for the sake of saying stuff these days, huh? :lol2: :lol2: I laughed when I read it as well. Like I said in a earlier post Team USA is ranked first at every age level.
July 4, 201610 yr It's all about how this comes together as a team. We still have the most talented players at all five positions. At all levels. The FIBA under 17 team is destroying everyone. Won the championship game by like 40.
July 5, 201610 yr It's all about how this comes together as a team. We still have the most talented players at all five positions. Not to mention, Argentina is very old. Spain is old. Who will be the next challenger?
July 5, 201610 yr Not to mention, Argentina is very old. Spain is old. Who will be the next challenger? Canada maybe? I don't really know.
July 5, 201610 yr Not to mention, Argentina is very old. Spain is old. Who will be the next challenger? It's interesting to look at these international rosters. Decent big men all over the place but Europe lags MILES behind when it comes to guards. Lots of countries like Lithuania that have very recognizable center and power forwards but names I've never so much as seen before playing in the backcourt. Lithuania might be decent. They were Eurobasket runners up last year to Spain. Australia has a few decent players here and there but I can't imagine much more than a bronze with Patty Mills and Matthew Dellavedova as the starting guards.
July 5, 201610 yr Canada maybe? I don't really know. Canada should be half decent but half their good players aren't on the roster for the qualifying tournament that they should be favored in. No Wiggins, no Stauskas, no Olynyk, just to name a couple. Olynyk is hurt but I wonder if Wiggins will re-enter the mix if Canada qualifies for Rio.
