it's who will contribute more of what team USA needs? hayward's the better playmaker and defender. everything DD excels at (volume scoring, getting to the line) durant and harden do X 1000, and one of them should be the first option offensively at all times (which is why i like harden as 6th man).

If Demar is cut from Team USA and they say his 3 point shooting ability is what cost him the chance, then you can almost guarantee he comes back next season and shoot 40%+ from three. oooh, and his hashtag would have an addition of #Motivation along with his current #ProveEm for all posts during summer on Instagram and twitter.

I would like to see Hayward making it as opposed to DeRozan. I know the FIBA experience would be crucial to DeRozan but we can't afford to see him getting injured. I think he needs to be well rested since he played in the Drew League in the summer and that's good enough. He needs to be rested and play some summer pickup games with Ross and the new rookies in Bruno and exchange what need to be addressed with Lowry and the Team Staff to make to the playoff again next year and prove to the league that the Raptors wasn't a fluke of making in the playoff last year. What if and the chances of that is probably slim that DeRozan gets injured like Paul George, what would happen next.

Hate to break it to you, but the Olympics (specifically, the International Olympic Committee) is a profit driven organization, too.
