Amidst an intense ending to the NBA regular season, USA Basketball made headlines today as they announced their 35-man roster for the Men’s National Team for the upcoming years, from 2018-2020. This team of guys will be part of an effort to defend the USA’s titles in the FIBA World Cup and the Olympics, and training begins this summer during a mini-camp in Las Vegas from July 25 to July 27.
Coming as no surprise to the Pacers, Victor Oladipo secured a spot on the roster after his brilliant performance this year. It should be noted that he was a member of the team in 2015-16, and a member of the USA Select Team, a squad that trains with the Olympic roster, on multiple occasions.
