Cleveland Cavaliers lead guard Darius Garland was originally a player that was invited/chose to play for the USA Select Team, which trained with in drills and got some scrimmaging in with the US Men’s Olympic Basketball in Las Vegas this month.
In doing so, Garland reportedly looked “really good” in those scrimmages for the Select squad, and that likely led to him being called up as one of three Select Team members to Team USA for exhibitions.
