Team USA ......Dont have any real playmakers

[Scottie Simpen]

Pops ain't in his 70s tho, I'm pretty sure he's younger than coach K. But Pop likes his guys to play some D. He also likes to share the ball and incorporate moving with no stagnation.

 

[YaBoy]

I don't understand why Coach K keeps giving Klay so much burn. He aint doing shyt on offense & Jimmy plays better D. Even Derozen is doing his thing offensively & playing decent D

at Draymond being the answer for the lack of play-making. This isn't the style of game or system for him to be a playmaker. He's good at play making on GS when he grabs the board and pushes it on the break and when he catches teams in mid rotation after they double Curry and Klay in the half court. He's not a pure play maker tho.

Nah the coli told me he top five and he could lock down a prime KAJ and the best point forward in the NBA

A team full of playmaker and I'm hearing in this thread no real playmakers, they better hope they escape with a medal. Ńiggas is outrageous today with the hot takes I see

 

[MJ Truth]

They should let Draymond handle the ball more, he can run the offense fairly well as long as there's movement. The stagnation and standing around on offense is putrid, and it's one of the reasons why Klay can't get going either.

They're using Draymond like a standard PF when that's not his game.

Lol. These ain't the Warriors. Teams aren't doubling Curry 40 feet away from the basket allowing Draymond to play 3-on-2 and make plays that way, there's no need for him to even be on this team.

It's not the Warriors but when Melo, Klay, Kyrie and KD are on the floor with him there's more than enough shooting to make him useful as the ball handler.

NBA Lockdown told me he's the best Center in the league too

 

[Dak Pickscott]

Leh get it

There would have to another Athens type situation. Where usa gets a 9/11 type attack then athletes get threatened if they attend the Olympics.

And we all know what happened in Athens. Nobody wanted to play on that team cause of the threats

Agreed. I wouldn't be stunned if it happened this tournament since this is USAs C- team. 4 of the 5 best players are sitting out and the US is still heavy favorites. International bball is improving rapidly, it's just too spread out. Most countries are still struggling to put together a starting 5 of nba players.

Team USA is lucky to have Melo

It's really not.
And they're not losing

...very unlikely a team like that wins gold

if these guys actually manage to escape with a medal then it will probably be the last US team that does so

I have been saying for while that the rest of the world is catching up but coli flag wavers don't wanna hear it

I mean it's possible for a team like Angola or Nigeria to very soon comfortably beat a US team by 30-40 points

Y'all might think it's very unlikely in y'all lifetime to see that but one day y'all might wake up and see it happen...hopefully you won't say that you weren't told

Yu had a point till Yu made this dumbass statement
