With the Paris Olympics months away, every sport is buckling up to put their best foot forward. Rosters and lineups are being finalized almost everywhere. Along the same lines, USA 3×3 basketball yesterday announced the coaches for both men’s and women’s national teams. Now it has come up with some more development in that direction.

In a recent announcement, the USA Basketball 3×3 announced a list of 16 players who will participate in the upcoming men’s national training camp. This once again sets the tone for the upcoming big games in the basketball arena.

USA Basketball’s 16 athlete roaster gearing up for national camps

Recently, USA Basketball took it to their official Twitter account and posted about the 16-athlete roaster while announcing that the team will be hosting USA 3 by 3 Men’s National Team Training Camp. They penned, “Called Up 16 athletes will participate in 2024 USA 3×3 Men’s National Team training camp Feb. 16-18 in Colorado Springs!“

The 16 basketball players featuring USA Basketball, collegiate and Professional experience include Trey Bardsley, Devin Cannady, Canyon Barry, Jimmer Fredette, Khalil Iverson, Mitch Hahn, Charlie Brown Jr., Henry Caruso, Justin Hamilton, Jalen Lecque, Trey McGowens, James Parrott, Bryce Wills, Kareem Maddox, Dylan Travis, and Jeremy Lieberman.

The primary reason for anticipating the upcoming event is that it will offer opportunities for selection into the teams that will compete in the upcoming event. Among those stands the berth for the 2024 USA 3×3 Men’s National team that will compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Jimmer Fredette, with gold medals at the 2023 Pan American Games and 2022 FIBA 3 by 3 Men’s Americup, and Trey Bardsley, with a gold medal at FIBA 3 by 3 Men’s AmeriCup, are the top contenders on the list. This comes days after the organization finalized the coaches for the teams.
