While there may be a few first-timers, Team USA will have the likes of LeBron James and Kevin Durant as experienced players who have played in the Olympics before and won the gold medal.


Kawhi Leonard - the firm favorite to be the 12th player?

According to Charania, Paul George, Paolo Banchero, Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, and Kawhi Leonard are in the mix for the final USA position. However, LA Clippers star Leonard is likely to make the cut if he is fit. Kawhi is dealing with a knee injury at this moment.
