Predict the 2016 Olympic Team
thought this would be interesting. I'll go 3 deep at every position just for fun, even though the roster will only be 12
Irving/Rose/Westbrook
Harden/Gordon/Beal
Lebron/Melo/MKG
Durant/Love/Griffin
Howard/Cousins/Davis
Left off guys like Wade and CP3 due to chronic injuries. Young guys like Monroe and Paul George were tough to leave off. Also a bit of a homer pick with MKG, so sue me.
yours?

Westbrook/Maynor/Harden
Harden/Cook/Fisher
Durant/Durant/Durant
Jones/Ibaka
Perkins/Collison
You can fill in the blanks if you want, but I feel like these are locks barring injuries.

Re: Predict the 2016 Olympic Team
Shabazz Muhammad as team USA's 2 guard. He's a better more athletic version of Harden.

Re: Predict the 2016 Olympic Team
Most of the team probably isn't in the league yet. Olympics most likely moving to a 23 and under format.

In Football/Soccer at the Olympics, the rule for a team's whole squad is only players who are 23 or under apart from 3 players who can be any age.
I hope the rule doesn't come into effect for Basketball, considering international matches happen a lot less often than for Football, who have international friendly matches throughout the year. It's once in a blue moon you get to see a team of all-stars come together (ASW aside of course) and play together. Not excluding teams not from the US!
