    Jaylen Brown is a not a team player. Ever since HS, he's wanted to be the guy. Went to Cal as one of their highest recruits ever because he wanted the ball in his hands. In the NBA, he plays iso ball whenever Tatum isn't involved. That's not the kind of player you want on Team USA. I would choose Payton Prichard over Damian Lillard because one of those two is a team player.

"i will pick jaylen "underappreciated" brown". not only they took derrick white, but they put tatum as a starter. double slap. dame lillard i dont know tho. maybe he just decline it. dame, scotty b, jimmy butler, KAT, paul george, zion williamson, kyrie irving, derozan, maxey, d.fox, brunson (if they are real all americans and didnt decline the offer or no offer at all...)

You not going to pick the man who just won the finals mvp award, and in the same time he plays same position like guy that you replacing with, and then coming on the press and saying that you picking the players based on how they complimentig each other , pus.. a$$ character. Honestly me as Serbian,but in the same time dye hard Celtic fan i love the fact that JB dont playing for the USA , same like i dont like JT,Jure and DW being there. I would rather have them working on their NBA game, USA will win this with or without them, becouse probably the best team that can stand in their way is the Serbia ( who have lot more chemistry on the roster; but thats becouse our culture is like that to stick together no matter what) with Joker and Bogdanovic from the hawks at he head, young Jovic from heats, and rest of the team high calibre Euroleague hoopers, but still usa is too talented.

    They just made a story out of this. Kawhi wouldnt go to camp if he's not healed and atleast on his 90%.form. Olympics stint would be his best and safest summer workout rather than doing random pickup games. Given the depth of Team Usa lineup, As if Kawhi would be playing more than 20minutes each game?? in a span of 6-7 games the most till they reach the Gold medal match. Truth is, Kawhi just decided to withdraw last minute because he"s not happy of the role being the 12th man, he not part of Kerrs main rotation, maybe not even in the 2nd unit. Thats the truth. Clippers and Team Usa best interests headline is a big BS to cover up.

    nah, you just blinded. No one rational think Derrick White is better, but they don't need more talent. They need chemistry and particular attitudes. No, i'm not saying JB has a poor attitude but Derrick White is a roleplayer on a title team. He's got no ego, so his attitude/disposition is more clearly one of a guy who's willing to take a backseat if necessary. Kyrie is mega talented but that's all. He's not a better fit here.

    Tbh Grant Hills thinking is pretty valid. This team is loaded with stars already, Derrick White's offensive game revolves around eating off others and playing within the flow of the game. On defense, he's a menace. There's a reason people call him a superstar role player, its the kind of guy that is perfect for a team like USA. Similar to Jrue Holiday in that regard who has always been great on Team USA. Its not that Derrick White is a bad pick, but it is curious that they chose a different position when Jaylen Brown is so comparable to Kawhi that it seemed like a no-brainer to take him as a fill-in.
