2010 on paper looked very beatable as well but Durant and defense won the title. This teams calling card will be
Dribble penetration and shooting. They have excellent players that can break down the defense finish or kick out to a group of great shooters. I agree defense will be an issue but I don’t see guys like Tucker or Millsap playing a huge role.
Guys like that might make the team but will not get the serious minutes needed to impact the team.
I think Harden will play the same role he did in ‘14 with Kyrie and Steph Curry. It worked well then and he was team USA’ s best player throughout the tournament in my opinion.
The 2004 teams downfall was not youth it was no outside shooting. Very poorly constructed team. LeBron and Anthony were outside the rotation so they weren’t really relevant. Wade played well as the backup point guard but his lack of shooting along with the rest of the roster did them in.
