I read Zach Kram’s proposed 12 man roster for USA in the 2028, and I find it atrocious.
The final 12 he chose, I don’t see them winning.
The logical consideration of a wider 25 or so player pool, is followed by a terrible 12 choice. I actually see that group not destined to winning the championship.
My 12 would be:
Ant Edwards
Cade
Flagg
Scottie Barnes/Haliburton (I would bring Barnes and Flagg, but Haliburton should be the team’s PG)
Embiid/AD (assuming healthy)
KD
Maxey
Holmgren
Tatum
Jaylen Brown/Kawhi
Booker
Evan Mobley
Amen Thompson (defensive specialist)
Maybe Jaylen Brown overlaps with other forwards,but, as if today, he really deserves it.
If Kawhi continues like now, he goes there obviously.
Tough outs: Donovan Mitchell.
Players I would like to play: Trae, Zion (I can’t believe he is not there, but, as of right now, it seems like that).
Lebron and curry already said they won’t go. If they change their mind, obviously they are in. KD said he wants to go
Lakers’ future appears very bright as they pivot to a new era built around superstar Luka Dončić.
Lakers have $60 million cap room this summer and they should have enough money to sign 3 of the 5 following young players?
Peyton Watson
Tari Eason
Bennedict Mathurin
Quentin Grimes
Ayo Dosunmu
