This lineup will win by 30:

Irving
Klay
Durant
Draymond
DJ

Has enough playmaking, defense, and continuity

Most of the US players have never played college and don't know basketball outside pick and roll.

Klay can't hit a shot, Draymond looks like crap when he's not at the 5.

I'm convinced Jokic will be an All-Star in the NBA though.

He has no issues playing aginst top NBA players

This team is pathetic.
Coaching is pathetic, no ball movement, bad lineups.

I blame Zeka.

Klay has been trash, PERIOD. They both look human outside of that GSW system with Curry taking all the attention.

Irving is incredible even if FIBA rules takes away his And-1 carry dribbles from NBA.

Youre basing everything off of his shot. Thats obviously your only criteria. With that logic Melo is amazing. But look at Melo's defense and chemistry killing play.

Cut it out, Melo's defense and chemistry are not an issue. I see what your problem is.

Melo and Irving have been the only US players who look like they want and deserve to be part of a Dream Team.

Uhhhhhhh what? Every player on the US team has college experience. The closest to none was Kyrie who got injured early in his only year.
