Would the team be better if they added 2-3 role players? I feel like it’s confusing and harder to get in rhythm with a team full of #1 options.

Would love to see Zion in the 12th spot, he can run the point and is one of the best athletic mismatches Team USA has to offer. Practicing with that group would also be great for his development

Jrue, Tyrese and Bam are not no. 1 options scoring wise.

Not sure why that's even relevant

Regardless, Tyrese is.

He just got hurt and played through it, due to the 65 game limit.

Before the injury he was a bona fide MVP candidate, averaging 25 pts 13 ast 4 reb on 50-40-86 shooting
