So Team USA is starting
G: Jalen Brunson
G: Anthony Edwards
F: Mikal Bridges
F: Brandon Ingram
C: Jaren Jackson Jr
That is two skinny forwards next to a C who doesn't rebound well. Not much physicality in that frontcourt. I do not like that mix.
I also do not like Brunson starting. Play a player who'll share the ball and get everyone involved.
Why do they only have one big guy? And if you are going to only play one big guy, at least give him some big forwards to help him on defense & rebounding wise?
It does feel a little "his turn, my turn" type of lineup. Mikal Bridges is the only perimeter guy I trust to play smart team basketball.
Then you have JJJ who will be a perimeter five but who is the interior then? Five guys all getting in each other's way trying to spot up for 3s. Play someone who will roll to the basket or play off of the elbows and facilitate the offense from there. JJJ not much of a passer. He is a finisher. Neither is Kessler or Portis. No big who can facilitate inside the three point line. Banchero but he plays more like a SF off the dribble playmaker.
