After a disappointing fourth-place finish at the FIBA Basketball World Cup, USA Basketball will be looking to assert its dominance once again at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
Despite failing to medal, Team USA, which was led by the likes of Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves, Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson, earned a berth in the Olympics after finishing as one of the top two teams in the Americas region.
The roster, for the first time, was constructed by new managing director Grant Hill. Steve Kerr (Golden State) took over from Gregg Popovich as head coach and was assisted by Erik Spoelstra (Miami), Tyronn Lue (LA Clippers) and Mark Few (Gonzaga).
Hill & Co. will look to bounce back next year. The group has already started configuring the roster and appears to have received some assistance from future Hall of Famer LeBron James, who has joined in on the recruiting efforts.
James reportedly began reaching out to other star players in the NBA this past summer prior to Team USA competing in the FIBA Basketball World Cup. He has privately agreed to play next year and has secured commitments from several others.
Here is a look at where things stand ahead of the start of the season.
