Old Going For Gold: USA Men's Olympic Basketball - Next Up The Main Event vs France (8/10 @ 3:30pm ET)

[Flight]

Morant
Fox
Coby White

Ja will look like a cheat code in 2028. We see how Schroeder’s quickness translates over there.

I imagine Maxey will get a look too and his off ball game should complement Ant/Ja/Paolo who I assume the roster will be built around.

France giving USA hell in 2028. If Jokic + Bogdanovich is enough to almost beat a veteran tested squad led by 3 all timers, then Wemby + Coulibably/Ricasher/Tidjuane/Sarr will be enough. And it could get scary if more than 1 of them pops

Wemby is going to have a Lebron level impact on winning in 4 years. It is going to be very nasty. People hype Jokic yea he’s great but he goes in and out of moments where he’s the best. Ie today he was what the 4th or 5th best player on the court. In 2028 Wemby will hands down be the best in the world

They all gonna be flops
Watch

 

[im not you]

in 28 usa will be stacked on the perimeter though im not sure ja will be as effective in fiba

a key weakness might be lack of a big body that can bang with these euro bigs
lively might be the one

Nobody gonna be able to stay in front of Ja but he's gonna need to adjust to FIBA travel/carrying officiating, NBA lets him get away with ALOT

 

[im not you]

Yall acting like these other euro teams are going to be nice 4 years from now

Spain trash
Greece trash
Canada no bigs
Serbia with older joker
Luka team trash

France only hope to challenge them
But all their best players are rookies

france will be very good
germany will still be good
aus should be decent
and canada has edey + that 7'9 kid that goes to florida

 

[phillycavsfan]

How I project the 2028 team

Ja Morant
Ant
Tatum
Banchero
Bam

LaMelo
Maxey
Halliburton
Chet Holmgreen
Zion
Booker
Donovan Clingan

Just out: Jaylen Brown, Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes,Jalen Green, Donovan Mitchell, JJJ, Jaylen Williams

Cooper Bragg is gonna be there, no doubt.

Besides Wemby we don't know if none of them other dudes gonna be good, Killian Hayes and Frank Ntilikina was supposed to carry the torch at guard after Tony Parker and them nikkas were flops. They better hope Traore develops cuz they got no guards that can create rim pressure and attack

Today was a good day for Joker. He's winning another MVP if Denver wins 45+ games.

If Slovenia manage to make it they'll be a problem too.

Ja is an elite play maker and great passer. His game will be fine in FIBA

I think he’s gonna have to win another chip before they give him another. But who knows
