I really didn't see Greece games recently, maybe besides some videos with Giannis' block parties, so could you tell me is this team something more than The Freak himself? The MVP is really great and versatile but are this his colleagues at least decent? What can we expect from this team?

And as for the outrights: normally I wouldn't bet on another scenario than the USA winning the tournament, though let's look at the squad of Gregg Popovich's side. Are there any real superstars? Kemba is great, Khris Middleton was great in last season, Mitchell Donovan, Jayson Tatum and Kyle Kuzma probably will be the greats but does this team blow minds? No, absolutely not. One NBA champion (Harrison Barnes), three All-Stars (Walker, Middleton and Brook Lopez) and that's that.

If you look closely and analyze the team, it does have the deepness and it's a really interesting mix of practically everything (3pointers, defense, athleticism, pure shooters, role players) but is it worth the World Cup? I have my doubts. I don't remember when the last time USA Basketball Team had as weak team as nowadays. At least on paper.
