USA Basketball is Deteriorating
Lack of stars? I don't think so. The 3 point chucking in the NBA, small line up and soft rules was exposed during international play. The NBA has become soft for over the years but this must be its all time low. Raw rookies entering every year's draft. AAU soft ***** ball, The system is broken.
Bring back the old rules, grit and grind, and let the players play and develop their fundamentals in college before entering as a raw rookie. The current NBA is seriously lacking maturity, toughness and fundamentals.
This is alarming. It has supposed to be the best talent in the world but it got spanked left and right in the international stage by supposed to be inferior talent.

deteriorating as in roster recruiting
this team USA didn't even have a top 30 US player on it
Pop thought he could outshine coach K with his D-team selections and it flopped

I don't think college is necessarily the answer. They are close to having a real minir league system. Kids should be able to go pro they should just be in the Gleague until they are ready.
Not really alarming that replacements got beat though

Coach K lost in 2006 with a better team because he didn't make any changes against Greece's pick and roll and ran no plays on offense

No plays on offense has been the standard for the USAB. They have always relied on individualities. The difference this year is that instead of having Kobe, Durant or Wade making the plays happen they had Brown, Kemba, Middleton and another non all time great talents.

The problem is that there won't be all-time great talent available next year.

Our best will be heavy favorites. That is still no guarantee. Our all-time greats have been challenged as well

Re: USA Basketball is Deteriorating
All in all this was great for basketball, seeing team USA lose
It will generate a lot more international pooling
Imagine if the NFL had this type of international compatition in that sport? All Samoan team? All New Zealand?

Re: USA Basketball is Deteriorating
We didn't even send one top 20 player, moron. Basketball is more popular around the world, so of course when we send our D team they lose. Learn basketball, fakkot.

Very good NBA starter
Re: USA Basketball is Deteriorating
What if the USA sent:
Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry, Chris Paul, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins etc?
