    That's pretty bad, kid. Think about how many dudes had to decline offer to get that lineup.

    Maybe this is the year that USA goes down at World Cup.

    Haven't followed this much and just looked up final roster. Is this right?

    The finalized roster includes the following players:
    • Harrison Barnes (Sacramento Kings)
    • Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics)
    • Joe Harris (Brooklyn Nets)
    • Brook Lopez (Milwaukee Bucks)
    • Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks)
    • Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz)
    • Mason Plumlee (Denver Nuggets)
    • Marcus Smart (Boston Celtics)
    • Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics)
    • Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers)
    • Kemba Walker (Boston Celtics)
    • Derrick White (San Antonio Spurs)

    Because they are not winning anything with that

    Harris is actually important here because he's one of the few that can shoot

    There were some NBA players on the Australian roster too.

    I'm glad there's some drama on the world stage, even if it is manufactured.

    At least it lends to unpredictability and with the US team getting the coverage the get, they've opened the door for a decent competition this time around.

    I like it.
