Team USA’s basketball team will have a minicamp in Las Vegas next week, part of the process of somehow whittling down the large pool of players down to 12 in time for the Olympics next year.
Provided they meet the conditions, which include being present (but not having to participate) at the minicamp, there are several players that can easily be considered locks.
Anthony Davis is the best big man in the NBA and should only be even better by the time the Rio Olympics are set to start.
LeBron James seems interested in representing his country again and remains one of the best players in the world.
James Harden led the team in the 2014 World Championship, and will be back unless he chooses not to be.
Chris Paul has been a lock on the team for years and nothing has changed there.
Steph Curry’s rise culminated with a championship this season, and it’s difficult to imagine him not making the roster unless he himself bows out at some point in the process.
