Would be great if Scottie can get on the team. Would be good experience for him and we’d get to see his progression over the Summer

Barnes would be great on the team in a Draymond Green role. He might not make the team this year but should definitely be on the team for the next Olympics.

Who does OG play for? UK, or Nigeria? Did they qualify?

It would be so good for him to be on the team, especially if the roster is filled with successful veteran stars that he can learn from, unlike Team USA last summer. If he got on a team with guys like Lebron, Curry, Durant, Kawhi etc., guys who have won it all as stars it would give him some more models to emulate of what it takes to be successful.
These are often the moments in a career where being on that type of team can really be beneficial, when a player seems ready to make a leap, but hasn't put it all together yet.

So instead of lifting up his native land, Embiid would rather join a stacked US squad?

You expected something different?
Cameroon made the last chance Olympic Qualfier tournmanet too, so it is their best chance ever to qualify.
Could have been a national hero....

I don’t understand why him and Siakam never ended up teaming up for their country. That tandem could at least compete for a bronze and would bring so much national pride for their people
Instead Embiid has chased a French and US passport as an attempt to play for any other country

It would be big for Barnes' progression DeMar came back from the Olympic experience with a new level of confidence.

Grant Hill had a front row seat to see Scottie dominate against the Bulls the other night. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him make the team

Halliburton, Edwards, Tatum, and Embiid should be locked in as the future of the team. Scottie fits in with that lineup better than any other power forward options so he better make it.

He said he's going to try to rep. This might be the last chance for him and Steph Curry to get a gold medal.
Assuming no injuries/drop outs, you're looking at something like this:
Centers: Embiid / Davis
Wings: James / Durant / Tatum / Edwards / Leonard / George / Butler
Point Guard: Curry / Lillard / Haliburton
It's going to be really tight for Scottie and other youngsters.

Conflicted, while an honour for Barnes, to be with all the greats, and see how hard you have to work at it. This is where all the tampering and such start....Especially with the Tampering King there.
