What does being able to beat Team Canada with a stacked roster during a meaningless exhibition game have to do with winning an NBA championship?

AD is a (bleep) problem defensively on Team USA. This is the ideal role for him in my opinion. He doesn’t need to be posting up or being a go to scorer. I want him scoring on put backs, fast breaks and alley oops mostly. He can take the wide open jumpers occasionally and post up a mismatch but that’s all.

This is why I want Trae young. I feel like it pushes AD to a more complimentary role offensively.

Probably till averages 20+ without being featured in the offense.

And makes him cover more defensively. Lol. AD is also a more efficient offensive player than Tre, so I wouldn't want him in a complimentary role to Tre

Am I the only who thinks Embiid don't belong on this team?

The guy don't know how to play without the ball on his hands.

Probably want him when/if they face joker.

France runs two 7 footers with gobert and Wemby.

I don’t mind him playing but AD should be starting after that defensive clinic he put on.

Because I was watching the game and saw them clearly stand out on a court full of stars, and expect that to continue in the Olympics when the games are no longer “meaningless”. Because we employ two of the best players in the league (and historically) at the same time, and will have a hard time replicating that ever again, let alone in the next decade. It was a general comment not entirely related to this game, but please go ahead and make smart ass comments.

It sucks the 2 top picks in the draft weren’t put on the France team. If have to seen what they can do.

I think the US will cruise to a gold medal this year.

AD should be closing games. The defense upticks tenfold when he's on the floor compared to Joel.

Perennial MVP candidate. He'll have to lose the PT over several games.

And yet our current coach left this man off both his all-d teams.

Did we ever get his reasoning and rational for this?

Because I need to know.

Is it because of east-coast bias and ignorance? Then ok. Then homeboy didn't really see him play.

Is it petty Laker hate ala Whitelock, then ok, but a biznich move nonetheless.

But if it's because of true analysis, then JJ dumb as sh!t and we got a problem.
