Team USA Announces 12 man roster this week! - Does Hayward make the team ?

I didn't know about Griffin. Yes, I would guess Millsap takes his place. Revised to reflect such.

OK, let's think about this logically:


- Durant starts at the 3, George is the backup.

- Harden starts at the 2, DeRozen is the backup.


You need 1 guy who can play both the 2 and the 3 in case one of those 4 guys goes down to injury. Then you have to choose between: Hayward, Parsons, Thompson.


So Hayward has a 33.33% chance of making the team, IMO.

Derozan can't shoot though. Kind of a big negative in international ball.

I see Thompson or Hayward making it. Probably be Thompson because he is such a sharp shooter and could play a specified role more than Hayward could.

Thompson is the best shooter and defender of those 3. I'd pick him over Parsons and Hayward.

Then you swap Thompson with DeRozen in that equation. You're still looking at choosing between: Hayward, Parson, AND DeRRRROOOOZENNNN.

As a bench option who you can just give the ball to when the offense breaks down, he's alright. Maybe Korver makes the team...

What about Beal and Wall?

 

[GVC]

I'd do:

Wall/Lillard/Curry/Beal/Thompson/Harden/George/Durant/Millsap/Davis/Cousins/Drummond

 

[Dr. Jones]

I'd do:

Wall/Lillard/Curry/Beal/Thompson/Harden/George/Durant/Millsap/Davis/Cousins/Drummond

That's because you're a ****ing whore from a country that has no hot women.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I'd do:

Wall/Lillard/Curry/Beal/Thompson/Harden/George/Durant/Millsap/Davis/Cousins/Drummond

I agree, mostly..

Too inexperience?

Wall's been in the league longer than Irving...
