gotta squeeze drummond in there over howard somehow
U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Finalists Roster
- Thread starter Optimus Prime
- Start date
Drummond's having a breakout year but I'm not sure how his game will translate into FIBA. And he's still rough around the edges.
Knowing team USA MO of pressure defense and playing small....melo is the PF and Davis is the Center. Paul is probably the PG (to add pressure defense).
Curry and Durant are the benching scoring second unit that brings the offensive fire power.
If Drummond goes he is the last big off the bench. But with durrant and Lebron he isn't needed.
look at K's 2012 team. Only center they had was Chandler. K cares more about shooting especially with Curry/Thompson/Kyrie availabe now. He compensated by playing Bron, KD, Melo, Love at PF. I think there's only going to be one spot for Center and that will go to Cousins...

after studying this picture, there's 6 slots open, just cut from Deron Williams to the right. Bron, CP3, KD, AD, Westbrook, Harden are locks. Add Curry, Klay, Kyrie, Cousins, PG13, Drummond

Draymond will get in over Melo.
@ thinking they can even beat DR after a night with planted Brazilian chicks
Because that will be the plan of action to take down America
I watched the USA whoop DR's ass at MSG without much effort. Inwood brehs next to me cursing up a storm

Nah. Melo shines in international play. He should be a lock.
Green might take Love's spot though
Is you crazy. Melo game damn near fits Fiba ball better than the damn NBA.

Towns and Horford didn't play. Doesn't countI watched the USA whoop DR's ass at MSG without much effort. Inwood brehs next to me cursing up a storm
Drummond has already played for Team USA during the FIBA tournament. Jordan is the one who's never competed

Green just might foul out every other game... Curry had the same issue last time.. The gsw defense is not working in fiba..u can't cheat as much (jersey pull, arm lock, reaching)
But I think he would be the best backup for lebron.in the Olympic at the 4

Drummond's never got extended minutes so we don't have that great of a sample size to see how much of a leap he can make as a bona fide starter or player who gets significant minutes.
Fair point on Jordan but his size and defensive prowess by itself warrants inclusion.
Wouldn't be the end of the world if Drummond got in over Jordan though.
