Assuming Lebron, Steph and KD wont be on the team, we won’t have a player of their caliber on the team. The best players would be Tatum , Brown , and Edwards. They’re good but are they good enough star players to elevate team USA to where it should be? Serbia absolutely dominating in this olympics and France was easily the second best team. France and the other European teams will only keep growing with the rise of all the European players entering the league. Even the players who aren’t in the league are insanely good in this type of olympic setting. Team USA 2028 roster will probably be a lot worse then 2024 so how are you guys feeling about how good we will do? Do you think we’ll still win gold or maybe a lower medal or not even a medal at all? Anything can happen in 4 years and a lot of players will get better but i’m not sure if they’ll be good enough players to make a good team that works together and not just a team of good players that don’t fit around each other. Sure players like Cade , Brunson and Ja are good guards and will get better, but good enough to compete in the olympics against these other insane teams? In my opinion,  it seems like we will have a lot of good players to make a good team but not good enough like the past and not good enough to beat all these other teams in the olympics.

    Last I checked Serbia and France lost. You’re talking about all these great players that are in the league or might get to the NBA. Right now there are only 2 great players on those 2 teams: Jokic and Wemby. Everyone else is in the same place as young American prospects.

    Four years is an eternity in the NBA. Do people think everyone had SGA pegged as a guy who would get MVP buzz back in 2020? It’s a fun conversation but it’s not really a useful one this far out, what if like Brandon Miller (just to pick a random guy) just explodes as a player?

    I feel like if the offense is led by Edwards and Banchero they might struggle to be really efficient. Maybe Haliburton running things and Chet as a stretch 5 can make things tick, though.

    “The best players would be Tatum, Brown and Edwards.” No mention of Booker. GTFOH

    In 4 years those guys you mentioned will be the face of the league. I’m pretty sure they’ll continue to get better

    The 2028 Olympic roster is going to be just fine

    The real question is whether or not we can win the 2027 World Cup and what players will actually want to play in 2027

    In Tokyo 2020, Tatum was the #2 scorer averaging over 20 PPG behind KD on 60% true shooting where they won the gold. And FGA were more split with more ball movement. No Bron or Curry, or Embiid AD. Pops is an all-time coach but they played better team ball, which they should return to vs a send off for 3 all-timers

    Man… we ain’t done celebrating this gold and you’re already thinking in 2028

    I think TikTok fucked the brains of an entire generation when they meed new new new excitement every 5 minutes

    Can’t you sit and enjoy the gold??

    France is going to get better. Almost every other country is going to get better.
