There are 3 divisions

Men's
Women's
Mixed


12 second shot clock and no jump balls. Must take back to arc no matter what after change of possession or score.

I have no idea who I would take on any team, as you do not want to make your regular team weaker or have them play double duty.

ETA:
The USA has only won a medal (gold x2) in the Women's division.

Are we choosing a fantasy roster here? Because there's no way legit NBA Players would likely compete in this. So if we are choosing a fantasy roster:

Steph Curry
Lebron James
Anthony Davis

Well I guess USA Basketball is a fantasy and does not care about basketball. Again I asked who do you send? I do not know. It is a legit FIBA tournament, much like Olympics, World Cup, Tournament of America's, etc.

And I already answered:

Steph
Lebron
AD

I don't really know any women's Basketball players besides Griner to comment on that.

You answered a fantasy roster. I asked realistically who do they send.

Are we talking non-NBA players?

If so I have no idea. Hold a tournament at Rucker Park and the best team plays, I guess.

The U-18 team had guy from Bishop Gorman, a guy from Plano, Tx, a guy from SC, and I forgot who the 4th was.

If a team doesn't score on every possession, I assume it's because they miss time an ally-opp or made an erratic behind the back pass.
