Will they develop enough to be worthy of consideration?
Will any Portland Trail Blazers make the cut for Team USA at the 2028 Olympic games in Los Angeles? Welists two recent Portland lottery draft picks as distinct possibilities to make the cut in four years: 2023 No. 3 overall selection Scoot Henderson and No. 7 2024 pick Donovan Clingan. The Americans will be looking to win their sixth consecutive gold medal at the Olympics.
All-NBA Second Team point guard Jalen Brunson played for Team USA's C-list squad in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, and served as that team's captain. The U.S. failed to medal, ultimately falling to Oklahoma City Thunder All-NBA First Team point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Team Canada in the bronze game.
"Henderson is a talented youngster, and while he’s coming off of a rough rookie year, we’ll see where he’s at as a player in 2028," DiFilippo writes. DiFilippo considers both Davis and Embiid, both of whom will be deep into their 30s, as possibilities to return. He also thinks Oklahoma City Thunder All-Rookie First Teamer Chet Holmgren, Memphis Grizzlies All-Star power forward Jaren Jackson Jr., and All-Defensive Team Cleveland Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley are definitely in the mix to make the 2028 iteration of Team USA.
