Obi’s NYK teammate Immanuel Quickley was one of 3 players on the USA Select team who has been sidelined due to COVID concerns:

Obi, Kevin Knox and a #1 are the rumored package the NYK are offering the Cavs for PG Collin Sexton:

The Cavs ought to take that offer. Obi would flourish in Cleveland.

I saw that Team USA lost to Nigeria the other day. Then, they lost the next game to Australia. 0-2!

What's up with that?

Has USA Basketball fallen so far in the world pecking order? I know that other countries have become dramatically better since Dream Team days, but I'm still shocked. I saw a little bit of the Australia game and it looked like we lacked physicality to me.

They lost to Australia yesterday too. This is what happens when you throw together a team that has never played together.

Looking better against Argentina - up 58-42 at the half. But I think Argentina lost big to Nigeria recently, so they should win by 25. Still not firing on all cylinders. Maybe they'll have a heroic "underdog" run in the olympics. The world has definitely caught up.

No I don't think so. The world has not caught up. I think there are a total of 4 all stars on the Team USA rosters. We're not sending our best players. We're sending enough that we could still win, but sending a bunch of talented individuals against of a cohesive team means you have to have overwhelming talent to overcome the team play. We're not sending LeBron, Steph, Kyrie, and a number of our best players.

Also, they're more interested in avoiding injury and not over-exerting themselves. The next NBA season is way more important than this.

Collin Sexton is the guy who beat out Scoochie Smith for a spot on the roster for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Actually, Scoochie had no chance since Cleveland had already made commitments to Collin Sexton.

No offense to SS, but, there were 4 or 5 guys who beat him out for a roster spot. Were that not the case he would be on the roster as a backup.

With the withdraw of Kevin Love, what's the pecking order for replacing him?

Another problem the US players are having is the realization that in international ball, it is not an automatic foul if the defender looks at you the wrong way.

It ain’t Obi. JaVale McGee and Keldon Johnson have been added to the Olympic team roster:
