Team USA men got a reasonable draw Tuesday for the Olympics, avoiding what might be the most competitive pool in the event's history as they seek a fifth consecutive gold medal this summer in Paris.

The Americans were drawn into Group C for the Olympic pool play, which starts July 27. They will face World Cup silver medalist Serbia, which is expected to have two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, as the toughest opponent in the group.

The top two teams in each group will advance to the quarterfinals.
