so what is the qualifications of who can make our 3 on 3 team?  Jimmer is the only one I knew.  The rest are randoms.  Can NBA players not play?  Odd team by team usa.  Clearly analytics haven't hit 3 on 3 yet.

I would think you would want one horse down low...someone like Kenneth Lofton if you are thinking non NBA players.  Then fill the rest of the team with guys who can get by their man.  Lets say Lance Stephenson type players..  Then have a few shooters on the bench.    Even if you were picking non NBA players....their needs to be better talent out there than what we had.

Three is king in 3on3 the way the rules has been set. 3 counts twice as much as any other basket. That is why you see all the time they are just letting an open layup only to not get a three (and potentially quickly score a three on next possession). Player like Jimmer should be perfect for 3on3, I was surprised he wasn't more impactful against Serbia (I just caught the game). I am also surprised we don't see more established players, but 3on3 is a very different game than regular basketball.
