On August 10, the NBA entered the offseason. The famous media CBS made a prediction for the 2028 Olympic lineup of the US men's basketball team, with James, Curry and Durant missing all, and Tatum, Edwards and Halliburton leading the 12-person lineup of the 2028 Olympics.

CBS predicts the 12 American men's basketball team in 2028:

Tatum, Edwards, Booker, Anthony Davis, Adebayo, Halliburton, Embiid, Brunson, Benkairo, Jaylen Williams, Mitchell, and Cunningham. Other candidates include: Mobley, Jaylen Brown, Flagg, Amen Thompson, Towns, Bridges, Jaren Jackson Jr., Morant, Zion Williamson, Trae Young, Maxi, Lamelo Ball, Taylor Herro, Fox, Brandon Miller, and Trae Murphy III.

Among them, Tatum, who has led the team to win the championship and two Olympic gold medalists, is undoubtedly the leader, and he will be 30 years old by then. CBS notes that assuming Tatum recovered well from Achilles tendon surgery, there is no doubt that he was selected for the third Olympic Games in a row. He will be 30 by 2028, which will make him one of the leaders in experience and achievement. It is worth noting that Tatum did not get much playing time from Cole at the Paris Olympics, and did not play in two games, but in Los Angeles, this situation hardly happens.

Edwards is also optimistic about becoming the team leader, and he is also seen as the future face of the American men's basketball team. The 24-year-old player has been selected into the NBA's best team twice and has led the Timberwolves to the division finals in a row. He made his debut in his Olympic debut last year, averaging 13 points per game, shooting 58% from the field and 48% from three-point shooting percentage. While nothing is a foregone conclusion, it would definitely be shocking if Edwards’ name didn’t appear in the 2028 roster.

In addition, Booker, Adebayo and Tatum are gold medalists at the 2020 Olympics and 2024 Olympics, and these three are expected to win three consecutive Olympic championships. And Brunson, Ban Kairo and others are expected to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time to win gold medals. It is worth mentioning that Flag is only on the shortlist for the time being.
