Team USA Basketball members celebrating with Lebron Lobos 1707 Tequila after winning the Gold medal

Team USA has officially captured its fourth consecutive gold medal in basketball at the Tokyo Olympics, but remember, we've already lost 25 percent of the time we'd typically have to begin preparations for the 2024 tournament. COVID-19 delayed the Tokyo Olympic Games, and now, Team USA and the rest of the field have only three years to begin preparations for Paris.

Fortunately, time is rarely something Team USA needs. Unlike their opponents, the Americans tend to finalize their roster only months before the tournament itself. Team USA won't even start looking at possible 2024 prospects until the 2023 World Cup. But that doesn't mean we can't start looking ahead. Here is a way-too-early look at Team USA's possible roster for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
