Team USA began preparations for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janero on Monday. The mini camp, described as a "celebration of all we have accomplished USA basketball" by managing director Jerry Colangelo, will culminate with an intrasquad scrimmage on Thursday, August 13th which will tip off at 9:30 central. Attendance at the camp is mandatory in order to be selected for the 2016 team, although participation is not.
Anthony Davis, winner of gold medals with the 2012 Olympic team and 2014 FIBA World Cup team, figures to be prominently featured on the 2016 Rio squad.
