CJ McCollum said that if they guaranteed him a spot on the 2020 Olympic Team, there's a good chance he and a lot of other second-tier guys would have stayed in.
And if they get hurt or have a terrible season...what then? You cant guarantee spots this early.
It kind of goes both ways though. Paul George is recovering from surgery now, but next April decides he wants to play, what would you do if you're Pop or Colangelo? Say "sorry" to a healthy CJ, who put in the work the previous summer? I think you can guarantee spots and have backups, like from the Select team, but to not reward the guys with an Olympic Berth after they put in the work in the FIBA tournament would be pretty slimy.
