After Team USA’s big win over Greece, the Americans get a bit of break with Jordan scheduled for Wednesday (game time is 4:40 am EST so it’ll be over when you see this).
The Jordanians are 0-2 but in FIBA play, American-born Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has sparkled. Jordan has not done well this year, but there’s no particular reason why they couldn’t improve down the road and, as Mike Krzyzewski warned Duke fans (and his teams) for years, you must respect your opponent. The price for not doing so is potential disaster.
For the US, Anthony Edwards was supposed to the breakout star and he has played really well, but the biggest surprise is probably Austin Reaves.
