Team USA Basketball Announced

July 23rd can't get here fast enough. That's the date that the Summer Olympics are set to star. They are taking place in Tokyo and running through August 8th. One of the events that Team USA is expected to do very well in is Men's Basketball. Greg Popovich, Steve Kerr, Jay Wright and Lloyd Pierce have a solid bunch to work with at this years games.

Here's the 12 man roster that Team USA will be sending to the games:
Kevin Durant, F, Brooklyn Nets
Damian Lillard, G Portland Trail Blazers
Devin Booker, G, Phoenix Suns
Jayson Tatum, F, Boston Celtics
Bradley Beal, G, Washington Wizards
Khris Middleton, G/F, Milwaukee Bucks
Zach LaVine, G, Chicago Bulls
Bam Adebayo, C, Miami Heat
Draymond Green, F/C, Golden State Warriors
Jrue Holiday, G, Milwaukee Bucks
\Kevin Love, F, Cleveland Cavaliers
Jerami Grant, F, Detroit Pistons

It was a little surprising to see names like LeBron, Anthony Davis, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving and Chris Paul left out in the cold. Maybe this is a sign of a changing of the times for USA Basketball. Plus there are also some pretty good young guns waiting for a shot at a future Olympic glory on the big stage. You could see the likes of Zion Williamson, Zach LaVine, Julius Randle down the road as well.
