Guards - Anthony Edwards - Tyrese Haliburton - Devin Booker - Donovan Mitchell - De'Aaron Fox Forwards - Jalen Williams - Jason Tatum - Jalen Brown - Mikal Bridges - Paolo Banchero - OG Anunoby Centers - Bam Adabayo - Chet Holmgren - Joel Embiid - Jaren Jackson Jr. This is the 15 I would start with. I think you could consider Brunson, but IDK how well his offense fits into this type of everyone eats system. Ja on the other hand, is not a good enough defender to make it IMO, plus not a consistent enough 3PT shooter as is. The guards listed have way more two way upside and can fit into almost every line-up. Ant can be a ball-stopper, but he brings elite perimeter D, Hali is probably the worst defender of the guards, but he's probably the best 3PT shooter and certainly the best passer, can easily fit into these high pace line-ups and hopefully he's a better defender by 2028. The forwards are really strong, all of them are incredible defenders and 3PT shooters (Besides Paolo with the 3s), but these guys can really fiit into any lineup, and they're all ball-movers who are going to take open shots, drive close outs and create advantages, and can be the primary ball handler at times. Also some of these guys like Paolo and OG can easily fit into small ball lineups with Chet or JJJ. Embiid was my most questionable pick, but in international play there are so many teams with big strong centers who would overpower Bam/Chet/JJJ/Paolo - although I could see Paolo becoming way stronger by 2028 - either way, Embiid is currently the most credible Jokic defender, and for the slower pace battles he's great to have. Chet is super valuable as a spacing big who is amazing at protecting the rim and can kinda play with anyone. I think this team would be super elite and probably have the best defense in the tournament. Obviously some of these guys will say no and this would never happen. I really love this forward core BC they all do the dirty work. Snub/Consider if the above people say no - Ja (simply too small) - Zion (He's so unpredictable, but could be good) - Brunson (Offense might not fit, and defense isn't amazing on ball) - Desmond Bane (If you need more of a 3&D guard) - Cade Cunningham (for guard depth if the above say no or are washed) - Aaron Gordon (Great strong forward defender, would thrive in this game, but can't space, would be amazing in Hali/Chet linups) - Derrick White (if he's still doing it right) - Austin Reaves (if hella guards say no, great ball mover, solid defender, proven in FIBA play) - Scottie Barnes (if he cant shoot he's not gonna make it) - Herb Jones (If u need more wings bc above say no) - Jaden McDaniels (same reasoning as Herb, but he's much thinner and won't translate as well so IDK) - Cooper Flag (we don't know how good he will be) - Tyrese Maxey (could make it, but I just think the other guards are better, who knows in 4 years) - KD (I don't see it, he's best when he's not the leader, but surrounded by guys who can lead, he'd be expected to lead in 2028)
Great detailed comment. Fair point about KD not being a leader. I think Spida is probably someone that’s gonna make it (mentioned it on the video). Dynamic scorer. The 2028 roster is going to be interesting since it’s basically an all new generation of NBA stars.
KD (I don't see it, he's best when he's not the leader, but surrounded by guys who can lead, he'd be expected to lead in 2028)???? So, 2021 Gold Was Nothing??
I would like to be added on that Team USA roster 2028 Naz Reid he fits right FIBA international basketball style ,his size,athleticism and he can shot 3 points so well.
Team USA is about roles and pieces. These young dudes who play solo ball will not be on the team. Cooper Flagg and Reed Shepard will get a shot because…you know.

I would like to be added on that Team USA roster 2028 Naz Reid he fits right FIBA international basketball style ,his size,athleticism and he can shot 3 points so well.
Tired of Book? He’ll be the best player on the team bro
Better than Anthony Edwards in 2028?

Already know.
Maxey needs to be there ya’ll crazy
I tried to tell em. Maxey for real.
@@3thehardaway Maxey is almost if not as good as Brunson. Maxey is only 23 and Brunson 27. In the next 4 years Maxey is gonna be way better.
Facts.
I see Maxey, Ja, Zion, triple J, Chet, Banchero , AE
We losing with that squad
@@Rangelong that's 7 players, don't know what other 5 would be good by then , and you have to factor in 4 years of improvement
Top left dude a booker hater for no reason but he hyping up derrick white
