One of the most interesting parts of the pre-Olympic process for USA Basketball is seeing who does (and doesn’t!) make it on the Team USA’s Select Team.

Typically, it doesn’t include the All-Stars that we’ve known for years. Instead, it’s usually filled with up-and-coming players from around the NBA plus a few who might’ve been playing outside the league but were part of the international process.

Here’s a look at all 15 players on this year’s Select Team for Team USA Basketball, including college basketball’s brightest star, Cooper Flagg.
