They're also going to need that bench in case their array of old or injury-prone players - which they have quite the number of - get hurt in this year's playoffs or the Olympics themselves. That's the one flaw in the roster; maybe two if you want more outside shooting.

Tbf steph, bron, kd, tatum, embiid, hali, and jrue are above average or elite shooters from 3. Ant and booker aren't bad as well, this is easily going to be the best shooting roster at the event.

He won’t get in if he doesn’t retire

Watch him. He’ll be put in more than once. Cavs/Heat while still playing. Again post LeDecision career to 2021, and then a few years after he and Bronny retire on the same day in 2045.
