“I want them to bring their very best selves,” Kerr told reporters on Tuesday. “I love that Anthony Edwards said he’s the No. 1 option the other day. I want him to think that way. And I want five, six other guys to feel that way, too. That’s the beauty of being on this team.”“They want to make sure they’re bringing their best energy, best game to the floor every night,” Kerr said.squad: “I love that said that… I want him to think that way, and I want five, six other guys to feel that way too.
“His on-ball defense last summer was amazing, and it helped change out team and get us better,” Kerr said. “Frankly, his off-ball defense struggled or suffered, and he needs to get better at chasing shooters, staying connected, boxing out.” "If he wants to play, he better play defense. That’s the point. The whole point of FIBA is to defend, make stops and get out and run."Kerr has yet to decide who will start and who will close the games when Team USA kicks off its Olympic campaign on July 28 with a group-stage game against Serbia.
