The USA FIBA World Cup rosters are at all times fascinating to see which gamers from the NBA settle for an invite to play. In 2019, it was a notably disappointing outcome because the USA fell to France 89-79 within the quarter-finals and positioned seventh, which was the worst placement ever in Group USA historical past. Shedding to the likes of Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier, Frank Ntilikina, and Nicolas Batum was undoubtedly not the perfect search for Group USA.
That USA staff in 2019 featured younger stars like Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown, in addition to clear position gamers reminiscent of Mason Plumlee, Joe Harris, and Harrison Barnes. 4 years later, there’s a contemporary batch of gamers who will look to redeem that staff and bounce again from the failed 2019 marketing campaign. Who can be representing the 2023 USA FIBA World Cup Group?
