So now that we know the locked in Team USA roster on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your confidence level that Team USA will win Gold? 1 being not confident, 10 being sure.

I would say I'm at about a 7 right now. I think theres a decent chance this team may get beat. There's some decent competition out there. Heck Greece even is a little scary with Giannis. I have no idea what they're going to do with him.
 
6,5. Don’t let the Australia game fool you. There are better teams. They can get better though. They are inexperienced and yet to discover how to play with each other against euroball.

5. This team is worse talent wise than the one in 2004 and they lost 3 games in Olympics. Serbia, Canada, Australia, Lithuania, France, Spain, Greece, Argentina all can beat them in single elimination game.
 
6. Glad they didn't have a ton of turnovers against AUS but they did get outrebounded. Our backcourt play is great but our bigs as a whole aren't making it happen.
 
I'll say 8. They know they still have more talent than anyone else, but in a single-elimination tournament any team can get hot or go cold.

A line-up of Kemba/Mitchell/Middleton/Barnes/Turner should be the best in the tournament.

Yeah, like if it was a series I’d have a higher confidence in it, but the single game elimination thing is where I think they could certainly get bounced. They still have great talent compared to the other teams it’s just not as much better as usually is in comparison and in single game elimination they a good team can bounce then for sure.
 
In all honesty. I knew the Aussies had a chance considering the team USA had on the court. And we have joe ingles the smartest player out of both teams. And patty mills wow. In all honesty know one from this USA team makes the team if they're full strength. Though a win is a win!
