· Sports Illustrated lays out its picks for the 2020 USA Basketball Olympic team and lists Victor Oladipo as one of the 17 names that should be considered:
ALTERNATE NO. 3: VICTOR OLADIPO (AGE 28 IN 2020)
Among potential USAB newcomers, Oladipo is arguably the most intriguing name. The 2018 Most Improved Player would be a natural face of the 2019 FIBA World Cup team, and it’s possible to envision him on the 2020 Olympic team if Westbrook, Irving and/or Paul decide not to go. Oladipo’s motor, playmaking, and physical defense could make him a nice bit player if Popovich’s 2020 roster has unexpected holes.
