Team USA Update
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (0), defending Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (2) here, is a strong candidate for Team USA.A lot of people in the states have more or less given up on Team USA but Jerry Colangelo and Coach K laid down a template that is going to be hard to stop: defend three point shooting, force turnovers and get out in transition.
They also made a wise move by getting a consistent group of guys into camp and building camaraderie and esprit de corps across seasons even though that’s being challenged somewhat this season. The basic idea of a pool of candidates was a real game changer, no pun intended.
