I believe Coach K said that he thought Hayward could play the 4 in international ball as well.

This would be awesome, we'd get to see the Hayward at 4 experiment before the season even begins.
I'll be a bit annoyed if that happens, but in my mind it's pretty much a tossup. I'd take Hayward over DerRozan for this team, but I'm also a bit of a homer.
The Next 4 cuts :
Chandler Parsons......Good on fast breaks ,good at popping 3 pters.but more dependent on someone setting him up and this team has scorers
Andre Drummond.......In a close game you can't play him because of his poor free throw shooting
Damian Lilliard...........This could be Kyrie Irving also ,4 PG's aren't needed
Demar Derozan/Miles Plumlee.......Plumlee could make it as the emergency Center,DeRozan is a great individual scorer but lacks the all around game

I think the cuts will be:
- Parsons
- Korver or Thompson -- we don't need 2 dedicated shooters; I could actually see both of them being cut, tbh
- either Plumlee or Drummond -- normally I'd think Plumlee, but Drummond's FTs could be a factor
- Kyrie or Lillard, probably Lillard would be cut also, unless they're calling Lillard a combo guard.
Paul George's injury opened the door for DeRozan and Hayward, potentially. The knock on DeRozan is his shooting, but I'm not sure how well Hayward has been shooting as of late.

Looks like Kevin Durant is wussing out. Hayward may be a lock now.

So to recap: No Durant, No Carmelo, No Lebron, No Kobe, No CP3, No Dwight Howard, No Love, No Westbrook, No Paul George.
Out of the 15 players named to the All-NBA 1st thru 3rd teams, only 4 will be on the team (Harden, Curry, Aldridge, Lillard). The entire roster has a combined ZERO championship rings , only James Harden has even been in an NBA Finals.
Instead we have 3rd/4th tier players like Hayward, Faried, Plumlee, Parsons, Korver likely to make the team. LOL.
Worst USA National Team (using professional players) ever.

I forget the year, but how good is this team compared to the team that had Boozer and Richard Jefferson. I think that was the last USA team to lose a game.

dont think WORST TEAM ever. just least talent since using pro players.
but the teams are now built with players who complement each other. more of a team instead of a bunch of talent together

Well then put down some cash and bet against this weak team.....that's what I thought.
This is very true... Gay is a lock to make the team.

The 2004 Team USA Roster:
Carmelo
Boozer
Duncan
Iverson
Lebron
Jefferson
Marbury
Marion
Odom
Okafor
Amare
D-Wade
Pretty weak looking bench in retrospect...however Carmelo, Duncan, Iverson, Lebron and D-wade as the 5 best players on that team clearly outclass this year's 5 best (Curry, Harden, Irving, Lillard, Davis?) IMO.
