2016 Olympic Games Men's Basketball Roster

[Trip]

Should have had Whiteside at center

 

[Emoryal]

off the top of my head

Curry/Westbrook/Paul
Butler(or Harden?)/Klay
James/Durant/George(or Kawahi?)
Davis/Whiteside(or Draymond?)
Cousins/Drummond

 

[SchoolboyC]

Kobe will be on the team if he wants to play

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I forgot about that. And he already committed to the Australian team.
But don't players with duel citizenship have the option to choose which country they play for? Like Kyrie could represent Australia if he wanted to as well.

If he had the option he'd prolly still play for Australia

 

[Brozay]

Should have had Whiteside at center

Over Drummond, Cousins, AD?

 

[SchoolboyC]

Anyway, it's far too early to try to guess who'll be on the roster.

Half the guys who are on the pool usually drop out because of injuries, free agency, fatigue, etc.

 

[Miles Davis]

Coach K ain't letting Howard on that team

Lance Thomas gonna make the team

I see you @ghostoftheiceman

But he does all the right things

 

[Collateral]

There aren't too many true American centers so Dwight gets it by default . Unless they throw Chris Bosh in there, or go small with Davis at the 5
I don't think they'll give Drummond, or Hassan Whiteside the green light this year unless something drastic happens. Both are still too raw.
I forgot all about Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. Right now Jimmy Butler is the best SG in the league so it can go either way.

Drummond is a better player than Dwight and it isn't even arguable. Cousins is too.

Bosh isn't in the pool of players that they're gonna pick from and neither is Whiteside.

I'm convinced people don't want NBA past ESPN highlights

Dwight might not even be the best center on his own team anymore for what he offers, you may as well just bring Deande or Drummond

AD as a center in FIBA isn't going small, he's considered a center

 

[Trip]

Over Drummond, Cousins, AD?

Not AD, but the other two yes.

 

[RedBull]

Russ
CP
Steph
Beard
Klay
PG
Claw
KD
Bron
Dray Black
AD
Boogie

*Drummond (if KD opts out)

 

[Brozay]

Not AD, but the other two yes.

Cousins has already devoted time to team USA, he gets in over Whiteside just off the strength of that

 

[Richard Wright]

Isn't Melo. Prototype international 4? Why is everyone leaving him off?
