USA basketball better get some nba stars that know how to play a role. Anybody can be nice with the ball in their hands but can you be cool with defending and going to the corner for a few possessions?

Aside from Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards and Brooklyn Nets swingman Mikal Bridges, much of Team USA's roster was underwhelming despite being made up of the likes of Jalen Brunson, Brandon Ingram, Tyrese Haliburton and Jaren Jackson Jr.
