OT: Predict the 12-man USA Roster

[aceboon]

Criteria for selecting the coach in recent past:
1) Already affiliated with USA Basketball
2) Big name who immediately commands respect from the roster of elite NBA players

Who has a better resume than Kerr? Not saying he is the best choice, not saying he isn't, but he certainly fits the mold. Six NBA Rings goes a long way.

Trying to install that offense with limited time to prepare, and most importantly no Steph, is a recipe for disaster. Grant Hill should stay far the hell away from him.

Installing his system would be damn tough, I agree. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Curry play in three years if Kerr is the coach.

He's 72, I doubt he'll want to be doing this when he's 76.

He’ll only be 75.

Watched first half and then had to call it a night. First 5 minutes were brutal offensively. Hard to believe they started off with an 0 for 7 or 8 to start.

KD got smart and started driving and using his mid range game to get in to a groove and that was it.

Even with these loaded teams it's so much easier to just pick an alpha scorer and run as much as possible through him vice trying to be an ensemble where everyone gets theirs. Let's face it, none of the players' salaries or endorsements are spiking much because of how they perform in Olympics. Just get the gold medal and add it to your resume.

Hell no to Kerr, Wright would be a good choice

lol why?

 

[aceboon]

lol why?

He's too beholden to his system, that system doesn't look nearly as effective without Steph, and he would have trouble installing that in a limited timeframe. I'm also not a fan of his rotations and substitution patterns as the Warriors coach, with a deeper talent pool and influence over the USA roster he could possibly look better.
