    USA team is no joke at all, but they were never the real favourites to a basketball expert.

    It is not about ignoring the best guys, it was the best guys opted out.
    This is the problem.

    The season can be as long as 9 months long. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to play every year. The World Cup and the olympics are in back to back years this time too

    There were 35 players got invited initially, and among all, only 4 showed up on this team.
    So, 31 were all dead or injured?

    If the U.S. wanted to be a defensive-minded, versatile and small team, there were no players in the roster pool that fit that definition more than Gordon. By all accounts, Gordon would have taken the call if the U.S. called him up to the roster. There was no reporting to suggest he even got an invitation to the tryout or specifically declined an invitation.

    They all have an NBA season to prepare for now, and at least some of them would love a shot at redemption next summer.
