So lets say all the good US Basketball players want to play the Olympics. And the only criteria is to nominate the 12 players who will form the strongest possible US team. So no players who get rewarded for past career achievements - just the best players right now.
What should the roster look like? Which 12 players should be in it?
starting 5 would have to be curry, d book, kd, lebron, and then embiid.
on the bench id like haliburton, ant, jt, ad, and then bam.
ant might be a strange pick but there arent a lot of shooting guards to be honest. could put pg in there or maybe jrue could play that position. another guy you may want in that slot who doesnt traditionally play sg could be Jimmy Butler.
either way we’re coming in with a vengeance.
AD’s a better start over Embiid with that lineup, neither are gonna be the focal point of the offense and AD’s a much better defender
im just glad embiid committed to playing usa basketball
I don’t think AD is a much better defender but think his roll style would fit much better.
Embid does short rolls and stops before the paint.
Love Haliburton but I’d rather take a defensive guy with that much firepower already
