The group can also end up featuring the likes of Spain who are currently placed number two in the rankings and Greece which features the kind of players like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Luka Doncic-led Slovenia.
Team USA will be coached by the current coach of the Golden State Warriors Steve Kerr and is expected to feature a host of star players including the likes of Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James, Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Phoenix Suns veteran forward Kevin Durant, Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and the Philadelphia 76ers’ star forward Joel Embiid.
