The Future Of USA Basketball Is… Terrifying

Team USA Basketball just won gold at the 2024 Olympics, but the future of the team is very much in question for 2028.

  1. Boycotted this evil olympics. Jesus loves you! Jesus saved my life! From suicidal to SAVED! Read the Bible! Pray! Have Faith! God bless! Repent and follow Christ! Jeremiah 29:11 Psalms 62✝🤍💪🙏 Jesus knows you by name! Seek Him!!

  2. PG – Haliburton , Ja Morant

    SG – Edwards , Mitchell

    SF – Booker , Flagg

    PF – Tatum , Banchero , Jalen Williams

    C – Chet Holmgren , Bam , JJJ

  3. One option for the Derrick White role in 2028 is Jaden McDaniels. I think his defense and length would thrive in olympic play. Plus with the guards you have, he wouldn't need to create as much.

  4. Not having Trea Young or Embiid mentioned is crazy. I get not having them on there but not saying their name is insane

  5. My Picks For 2028 Team USA

    PG: Tyrese Haliburton
    SG: Anthony Edwards
    SF: Jayson Tatum
    PF: Jalen Williams
    C: Dereck Lively
    Bench: Trae Young, Ja Morant, Tyrese Maxey, Devin Booker, Scottie Barnes, Paolo Banchero, Cooper Flagg

  6. I think most of the players will make significant improvements in 4 years and the US will be just fine.

  7. Youre crazy if you think ja won't be there (as long as he doesn't get in trouble again). He might well win mvp in that time

  8. Give me a young team lead by Booker, Ant, Paolo, Chet, and Bam. I can't wait to see it.

  9. I like championship guys on the olympic team to pull everyone together and lead. We'll be losing a lot of that for 28. Itll be interesting to see who steps up. 4 years is a long way away but early on tatum and brown will take the tourch mayb

  10. "Terrifying"… man you Muricans are just a walking cringe. Get over it and yourselves.. "World champs" LOLOL

  11. Donavan has the ability to do exactly what Steph just did, go crazy from 3, so crazy how Mitchell is left off there list….smh

  12. I usually agree with you, but Tatum and Brown aren't gonna say no to LA. You must think both of them are overly sensitive. I'm sure whoever coaches the team will solidify Tatum as taking LeBron's spot.

  13. team USA has only one thing do…starting to do what every other country does, Create a program where 24 players are invited every summer for at least a month to get to know eachother on the court and work on team chemistry . The talent depth is so huge that Even if they have only C or D tier team compared to what they could get , they would win without a doubt

  14. Chet and Bam not gonna be enough. They need Miles Turner which I think the perfect replacement for Embiid. He can shoot outside, great in pick&roll and play very good defense too.

  15. If I was USA basketball I would start now and try and get players to want to play for USA

    Even if the team is just all-stars and non-generational talent, if they actually played together at the World Cup and practiced, they would close the gap between the other countries national teams caring more lol

  16. No way Booker doesn't play Steve Kerr was saying he was the unsung MVP of the team I also believe AD will play and for some weird reason I think LBJ will play also he'll have a role like DT did for the women's Olympic team

  17. No Booker? Yeah I’m not even watching the rest. Absolutely terrible choice and insane disrespect towards one of USA’s top 6 or so players.

  18. you left out Trae Young. lol he could replace curry in terms of shooting which the team you created lacks the most.

    Booker is still on his prime years during that time and will for sure suit up for team USA.

    Expect Tatum and Brown to be there too. the challenge really is to have good bigs. maybe get Lively.

  19. I think Tatum is an upstanding person and ideal ambassador for the sport,
    I think come 2028, if he is still top tier, he’ll play. Tatum wasn’t the best, or even second best at his position this 2024

  20. There is enough young talent where I expect quite a few of these players to be a lot better in 2028 and things will be more comfortable. I also feel like these guys could mesh really well together based on on ball/off ball experience and abilities

  21. I don’t even think the USA roster is the most concerning thing. It’s this: think of all the French guys who have been lottery picks recently: Wemby, Coulibaly, Sarr, Risacher, etc. Imagine if they all pan out as NbA stars and that young core is powering France? Terrifying

  22. What’s crazy to me is Team USA is the ONLY country that has an over abundance of talent to choose from. No other country comes close to this problem of roster building 😂

  23. 2024 – 2028 (roles)
    AD – chet
    Bam -Bam
    Embiid – Clingan/Kessler/Edey (the best ou of these 3)
    Lebron – Zion
    Tatum – Banchero
    KD – Copper Flagg
    White – Jdub
    Booker – Booker
    Jru – Bridges
    Steph – Ant
    Ant – Bruson
    Halli – Halli

    Starters
    Chet
    Zion
    Cooper
    Booker
    Ant

    Zion and ant leading as on ball creators (like lebron and steph did), cooper flagg off ball scorer (like KD), chet defensive playmaker, book with the same role as he did this year.
    2nd unit Paolo and brunson on ball creators, jdub and bridges hard workers off ball, bam same role as he did this year.
    Big center for specific matches, Halli as on ball creator if something happens.

  24. Team USA still has a massive cumulative talent advantage over everyone else. Our guys just do not play as hard as these other teams the entire game. I believe this wholeheartedly.

  25. No way you don’t put Booker considering he has 2x gold medals and would help with the team and look at what he did this year
