A former Lakers guard has an idea how to improve the Team USA roster in 2028.
The United States men's national basketball team is fresh off winning the gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, with two members of the Los Angeles Lakers helping the cause. Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis made their presence known during the journey to winning the gold.
However, even with this amount of talent, the Americans were pushed a little bit. In the semi-finals against Serbia, Team USA had to overcome a 13-point deficit heading into the final quarter. While appearing on the Gilbert Arenas Show, former Lakers guard Nick Young gave some ideas on how to fix the Team USA roster. One idea that he had was to replace a player like Derrick White on the team with someone who could score the basketball a little easier such as Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro.While Young does have a good point, White was not originally on the roster. He was a replacement when Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was forced out due to injury concerns.
White played a solid role for Team USA, being somewhat of a glue guy for the team. His ability to play defensive and hit 3-point shots at a high level helped balance out the roster filled with superstar talent.
