We already knew 9 of the 14 names that will make up the “Select Team” of Team USAthis team bis responsible for playing the “sparring partners” of selection A to best prepare the World Cup 2023 (August 25 – September 10). Here is what the American federation announced, on his social networksthe last five players who will accompany Steve Kerr’s men to Las Vegas.
So, besides Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Chet Holmgren, Keegan Murray, Jalen Williams, Quentin Grimes, Trey Murphy III, Naz Reid And Payton Pritchardso these are Herb Jones, Jalen Duren, Langston Galloway, John Jenkins And Eric Mika who were called by the coaching-staff of the UNITED STATES.
The Magic coach, Jamahl Mosley, will therefore lead 11 NBA players for the occasion but also 3 G-League players, since Langston Galloway, John Jenkins and Eric Mika, all of whom passed more or less briefly by the Great League, received a summons in thanks for their services rendered during the qualifying windows for this World Cup, in which the “NBAers” did not take part.
As a reminder, Team USA will fly to Asia with a roster made up of Brandon Ingram, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Jaren Jackson Jr, Paolo Banchero, Bobby Portis, Austin Reaves, Cam Johnson, Walker Kessler and finally Josh Hart. In the event of an injury, Jalen Green, Chet Holmgren or Jalen Williams will be called up at short notice, as they are Steve Kerr’s medical jokers.
In Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines, the United States will be in Pool C along with Greece, New Zealand and Jordan. If they finish in one of the first two places, they will then cross paths with the group of Lithuania and Montenegro in the second round, to hope to reach the 1/4 finals of the event…
