For the 2023 World Cup, Team USA did not call the Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young. However, at the end of the NBA season, the young talent had expressed his desire to play in this FIBA competition. But the American decision-makers preferred him Jalen Brunson et Tyrese Haliburton.
Despite this disappointment, the 24-year-old has already mentioned his desire to compete in the Paris Olympics in 2024. His selection seems unlikely, however, with the expected return of the stars for this Olympic tournament.
Especially since at the same time, Young obviously does not have a high popularity rating with Team USA. For what ? In 2019, he was in the Select Team as part of the preparation for the World Cup. And at the time, the Hawks player didn’t score points, according to ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon.
During training, his involvement would not always have been up to par. Especially defensively. And we know that in the American process, the Select Team represents an important test. For the various breeders, it has always been a way of testing young talents for the future.
If Trae Young actually disappointed Steve Kerr (present in the staff at that time), it will be difficult for him to return to the group. Especially with XXL competition at his post.
