is this the first time US lost an olympic game and still went on to win the gold?

Oh man

It looks like Aron Baynes' injury during the Boomers' bronze-medal run in Tokyo is more serious than initially thought. 😢 pic.twitter.com/SFThluDZev

aw, that sucks, i didn't realize he'd been hurt.

i feel like in the team usa context, centers who can protect the rim and play good man defense on other teams' skilled centers are the priority. shooting, passing, switchability are all nice, too, but go-to scoring ability is not important when they usually have that from 1 to 4.

if he's healthy and wants to play, brow is the best option, but i'm skeptical that both of those things will be true. myles turner should fit well. he obviously should have made the team over kevin love this year. if any of wiseman, mobley, and holmgen look good in three years, that'd be awesome. would love to have zion on team usa, but he doesn't really bring the stuff i'd want from a center on defense. i'd rather have him wrecking guys at the 4.
