This was a failure for Team USA, but not an unexpected one.
Gavin Schall explains why despite some moments of brilliance from Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and the rest of Team USA, failures of roster construction, defensive strategy and the nature of FIBA ultimately led to Team USA’s downfall.

This was a great breakdown! 👏
Great commentary and analysis. You should have much higher views. I believe Kerr did an awful coaching job. And no leader on USA team. Just selfish basketball.

I agree they can play walker Kessler. But they will give up more 3s. That was what kerr is concerning. Kessler can't cover shooters after pick and roll. It happen in the Lithuania game.
Brunson got exposed
Austin was far better then Brunson look at the stats. He should have been the starter.
I’ll tell you why the US lost. NBA players are groomed to be individual entertainers while FIBA players are groomed to become competitors within a team concept.
NBA rules taught their players to be soft and only cater to certain players. This cannot translate to real competition with rules that allows physical plays
