Still 0 superstars! The 9-man list of the US men's basketball team is determined, and it is difficult to stop the European 3 supergiants, which may create another shame
On June 15, Beijing time, from NBA Woj, it was reported that Jazz rising star Kessler has promised to represent the U.S. men's basketball team in the World Cup. As a result, the 12-man roster of the US men's basketball team for this World Cup has been determined by 9 people, but unfortunately, the most famous of the 9 is only Ingram. Without the addition of top supergiants to the remaining three, the prospects for the U.S. men's basketball team in this World Cup will be extremely bleak. In the face of the encirclement of the Eurocorps, the US men's basketball team may even set the worst record in history.
After Kessler was selected for the team, the currently confirmed list of the US men's basketball team includes Mikal Bridges, Edwards, Reeves, Halliburton, Brunson, Portis, Ingram, Jaren Jackson Jr., Kessler. The most famous of the nine is Ingram, but he is not a top superstar in the NBA. And Kessler, Portis, Rivers can even be counted as role players. Although Edwards, Brunson, Halliburton and Jaren Jackson Jr. are core players of the team, most of them lack top-notch attacking ability.
The U.S. men's basketball team stage needs to face Greece led by 2-time regular season MVP Alphabet Brother. In addition, Jokic, who has just won the championship and FMVP, will lead Serbia to the game. Slovenia led by Doncic, and France led by Batum and Venbanyama are also strong. And this American men's basketball team is likely to become the bleakest dream team in history, and there is no one.
It is worth mentioning that the US men's basketball team set the 7th worst record in team history in the last World Cup. But at that time, the US men's basketball team also had players such as Tatum, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Middleton, and Smart. The current 9-man roster of the US men's basketball team is worse than the US men's basketball team in 2019. If there are 3 remaining places without super powerful stars joining, the US men's basketball team will most likely repeat the mistakes of the past.
