According to USA Basketball's Jerry Colangelo, if you wanted to be eligible for the 2016 Olympic team, you had to show up to last week's Team USA mini camp in Las Vegas. Wanting to make the team and confident that he should be part of the 12-man unit heading to Rio next summer, John Wall took part in the three-day event. However, Wall is a realist and although he enjoys being part of USA Basketball, he doesn't think he will be selected for the 2016 team.
If history is a guide, three point guards will be part of the 12-man roster. Barring the unforeseen, two of those spots are locked up. Paul was a member of the 2012 Olympic gold medal squad. Curry helped the US triumph at the 2014 World Cup and then led the Golden State Warriors to the NBA championship.
