Kind of a tangent, but I was thinking about this last night while high. Who are your projections for the Rio Olympic Hoops team?
My best guess so far:
PG: Curry (duh) Russ, CP if he wants to play, but anyone 30+ im thinking maybe they should preserve their bodies for the NBA season- so if he's out- I'd want Lillard. No thanks: Wall (doesn't really do anything Russ cant)
SG: May only carry 2 since I could see a lot of Russ/Curry together- so.. Klay, and I guess Harden (ugh)
SF: Kawhi, Jimmy Butler (if healthy) and maybe Paul George, but I'd completely understand why he tells team USA to fuck off forever. Lebron keeps saying he's in, but honestly- don't. Durant may also sit out since he's hitting FA. Between George, James and Durant, I assume one will be in though.
PF/C: Anthony Davis, Dray Green, D. Cousins
Guy picked because he played at Duke: Kyrie Irving
If any of the above bail, I'd guess Gordon Hayward makes it as token white guy, then maybe Faried as a front court replacement as he seemed to play hard in the 2014 worlds.
