Does Team USA go to more traditional lineup ?

[Legends66NBA7]

With Durant withdrawing, the team now loses of their best versatile options. Do they go to more traditional style to compensate ?

PG - Rose
SG - Harden
SF - ?
PF - Davis
C - Cousins

Could guys like Faried, Plumlee and Drummond get to all potentially stay on the team now

How is Derozans defense?

Improved over the years, but still average at best. Unless it's a crafty veteran going against him, he can usually hold is own in an isolation attempt. His help defense could be much better, needs to continue to work on his latrell quickness.

During the scrimmage (on whatever footage I could find), I saw a lot of positive in his defense. He was heads up, anticipating passes and deflections, contesting shots. I think he only got burned 1 time on a drive IIRC. Although, the scrimmage was more telling about what these players can do on the defensive end until they face Spain, since their offense will carry them all the way.

If he were to be on the team or even start, I'd say he would do an adequate enough job.
