Steve Kerr looking to 'natural leader' Jalen Brunson to head Team USA

LAS VEGAS -- Team USA head coach Steve Kerr expected to go through several out of bounds plays to end Saturday afternoon's practice here in Sin City. But, on the second one, the Senior National Team stole the ball from their Select Team counterparts and Jalen Brunson found himself with no one between him and the basket.

And when the New York Knicks point guard -- who is listed at 6-foot-1 -- rose up and dunked the ball, causing the 20-plus players in the gym to leap to their feet, Kerr decided he'd seen enough.
