Lots to consider here with injuries and top players needing rest. Below is my 12 man roster prediction. We could be in big trouble. I go through the 57 finalists and I feel like everyone will opt out

Jarrett Allen
Bam Adebayo - Starter
Myles Turner
Christian Wood
Zach Lavine - Starter
Fred VanVleet - Starter
Trae Young
Devin Booker - Starter
Tobias Harris
Joe Harris
Russ Westbrook - Starter
Derrick White

If that is the Olympic roster, we're in trouble.

Has anyone opted out officially? Why would we be in trouble? That team you listed would smoke everyone, if they're trying.

A couple of good teams getting knocked out in the first round of the season playoffs may be needed for the US to get some better players on this roster. Why isn’t Bradley Beal on here?

He's listed as one of the 57 finalists but for some reason I just assume he will take the summer to rehab / rest. Hope I'm wrong.

Is Pop still the coach or did he leave after the world cup fiasco?

Few thoughts:

1) I would be a tad bit concerned if KD did not commit. With KD they won't lose a game.
2) I'm relatively shocked Holiday, Lopez, Middleton, and Booker are going to go directly from playoffs to Olympics.
3) Why is Kevin Love on the roster?

Maybe it's the nostalgic six year old in me during the '92 games, but I love Olympic basketball. I'm someone who'd watch it regardless of who's on the roster.
I'm looking forward to the 3:00am and 4:00am (ET) games.

Tatum over Beal
no way beal is the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team after KD and maybe lillard. if anyone's not a lock to start it's booker. but either way tatum spent all season playing PF and that's KD's spot.

Beal barely lost the scoring title to curry and was third team all nba. where was Tatum? You must be a Celtics fan.
Nets fan actually(not a bandwagon), as scorers they're in the same tier, regardless of ppg.
I love Tatum and at some point that will be true but it’s not now. I feel bad for Brad Beal, a genuinely good dude, that he’s playing for a franchise like Washington where no one gets to see how good he is.
I'll admit I didn't watch much Washington this year, but I think Tatums defense gives him the edge in this comparison. 3pt shooting also would make him more valuable off ball, which will be important playing off other stars, like Beal.
