U.S. men's basketball head coach Steve Kerr explained the reasoning behind his fluctuating starting lineups during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"For us it's very obvious watching games that having guys in their usual roles is very helpful," Kerr said on Friday, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst. "And so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us to put our five leading scorers on the floor from an NBA season because those guys don't complement each other well."
"Just coaching basketball, it's pretty simple for us, regardless of all the noise," he added.
