With the news that LeBron James is ready to commit and recruit for Team USA next summer, the biggest Minnesota Timberwolves question is whether or not Anthony Edwards will be part of that team. To our surprise, when we sat down to actually put together a potential roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics, the question was more complicated than we predicted. Here’s the roster the Dunks After Dusk crew put together under the assumption that Joel Embiid would not be playing for the team:
Starters
- PG: Damian Lillard
- SG: Steph Curry
- SF: Kevin Durant
- PF: Lebron James
- C: Anthony Davis
Bench
- PG: Jrue Holiday
- SG: Devin Booker
- SF: Jimmy Butler
- PF: Jayson Tatum
- C: Bam Adebayo
The Last Two
- 11th: Draymond Green
- 12th: De’Aaron Fox
On the Bubble
- Anthony Edwards
- Mikal Bridges
- Zion Williamson
- Paul George*
- Kawhi Leonard*
*George and Leonard would fit the older roster, but considering their recent injury history and propensity to rest, we set them to the side for the time being.
