So Kawhi Leonard earlier this week had to withdraw from Team USA and he was replaced by Derek White
0:05
which was an interesting choice to a lot of people, but to me is unsurprising completely
0:10
even though a lot of people think it should have been Jalen Brown. So first of all, Derek White's
0:14
a phenomenal player. He's an elite defender, great catch and shoot three-point shooter
0:18
and he can make some plays off the dribble and he's a good passer. He's by no means like a scrub
0:23
he's gonna fit in just fine, and Team USA has historically always had a couple players on the
0:27
roster who are non-all-stars, and he's a borderline all-star anyway. Second of all, they don't need
0:33
another ISO scorer like Jalen Brown, and Derek White likes to play off the ball, so I think he's
0:39
going to fit in just fine. Jalen Brown still is a similar archetype to Kawhi Leonard, but I don't
0:43
necessarily think that was cause to just go one for one, because I think Team USA has lots of
0:49
scoring talent, they're gonna have lots of perimeter defense, and Derek White's a better perimeter defender than Jalen Brown, so I don't really have an issue with it, but let me know who
0:55
you guys think the team USA should have taken, if not Derek White or Jalen Brown
