Current roster for Olympic 3 on 3 basketball? 

Post#1 » by Laimbeer » Fri Aug 12, 2016 5:30 pm

If the IOC approves it, what players should represent the US? I'm thinking six on the roster? Don't really know...

Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded one point, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.

Steph Curry is the first pick by a million miles.

Steph, Durant, Davis would eviscerate everyone. Kawhi off the bench.

Two shooters and to screeners is all you really need. Steph/Klay with like Drummond and Chandler.

Although ideally they should bring the 3 best members off the select team, use it as a way to develop younger talent and give them more exposure to different NBA circles.

3 on 3 is usually played by non or at least semi-professionals.

Maybe they could do that All-Star Weekend formula of a current player, a retired player & a WNBA player.

Do they still do that one? :lol:
