Until recently 3 x 3 Basketball seems to have been an after thought by USA Basketball. Is it now too late to get enough points to qualify for the Olympics? I also don't understand why AAU Basketball hasn't gotten on board with 3 x 3 Basketball. IMO its easier to showcase Ball Skill talents in 3 x 3 Basketball, then it is on 5 x 5 Basketball. AAU Tournaments could easily have a bracket of approx 10 teams and have competitions featuring 3 x 3 Games. Some smaller AAU Teams could even benefit as they might have 3 talented players who would do better playing 3 x 3 games then they do with their 5 x 5 teams because of lack of team depth. USA Basketball could probably field 3 x 3 Teams made up of Older Players that were the last cuts of WNBA teams. This would enable USA BB to have experienced teams at all the 3 x 3 Tournaments.
