Marcus Smart and Kemba Walker have both been named captains along with Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz for the Team USA squad currently representing the country for the FIBA World Cup. Smart and Walker, both teammates next year for the Celtics, have been able to build a strong rapport this summer with fellow teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown through their involvement with Team USA.
Three out of the four teammates suited up last night against Australia for an exhibition match before official tournament play begins in September.
