Choose your 2024 Team USA lineup.
Some of the NBA's best players will compete against Team USA in Paris, so the United States must, as three-time gold medalist Carmelo Anthony said, "put our 'Avengers' together" in hopes of taking gold for the fifth consecutive Olympic Games.
Your mission: Pick a starting five from the roster pool of American heroes (plus a couple of snubs). We'll add up their projected 2025 RAPTOR ratings to give you a score out of 100%.
Note: Grades are based on projected 2024-25 NBA ratings in estimated RAPTOR, an all-encompassing metric that mixes a player's box score performance with his on-court impact. Using RAPTOR, each lineup gets a predicted net rating -- point differential per 100 possessions -- when it's on the court, and that lineup score is graded on a 0-100 scale depending on how closely it matches the best possible projected lineup. It's hard to get a perfect 100 on your first attempt, so keep trying until you nail it!
