PG: Haliburton || Maxey
SG: Ant || Booker
SF: Tatum || Paolo
PF: Flagg || Miller
C: Chet || Bam
There are two other spots. I think it will be Derrick White again and Jalen Suggs (Even though he’s not on the level these other 4 are, you need an elite defensive guard)
How many of these 2028 roster posts are there going to be. Mods need to start temp banning this is ridiculous
I’ve seen a few of these post over the last couple days, but I’m confused because I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Tatum appear on all of them? According to this sub he is one of the worst shooters in the league, doesn’t fit well with other star players and is like the 4th or 5th best player on his own team. Why should he be a part of team USA again?
My way too early prediction
Starters:
Devin Booker - G
Anthony Edwards - G
Jaylen Brown - G/F
Jayson Tatum - F
Bam Adebayo - C
Bench:
Tyrese Haliburton - G
Jalen Brunson - G
Jalen Suggs - G
Mikal Bridges - G/F
Zion Williamson - F
Evan Mobley - F/C
Chet Holmgren - C
Do you think Tatum and Brown are accepting invitations to the team if Kerr and Grant Hill are still around?
Even if they are very deserving, I think they may decline to be part of 2028.
True, I made a roster assuming no declines.
Zero chance Chet isnt better than Bam by that point
Why tf would Booker get shoved to the bench?
Because ANT would be entering his prime years and probably be the best SG in the league.
Year 2 Flagg will not be good enough to start for team USA lol at most he’ll be in the Tatum/Hali role from this year
I’m hoping Donovan Mitchell will get a chance to play in 2028. He’s definitely near the top of the list once all these old guys retire.
And this is why people question USA by 2028. It’s legit to think they can be more beatable. Even if Edwards lives up to some of his expectations and is a top 5 player, I don’t think he has what Lebron, Kobe, or MJ has.
In general, even if Flagg is generational and guys like Zion or Tatum are too 15-20, the gap is much costed than before.
Even a team like Serbia who less nba talent can play at a closer level to nba standards in this tournament.
