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)
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.
