USA Select Team for 2024 Paris Olympics: Duke star Cooper Flagg headlines training camp roster
Team USA is preparing to head to Las Vegas for training camp ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Every year, USA Basketball puts together a "Select Team" typically made up of young future stars to compete against the Senior Men's National Team ahead of exhibition tune-ups.
The Select Team can be a runway to future Senior Men's National Team invites, just as it was for 2024 USA Basketball Olympians like Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton.
Who is on this year's Select Team to help Team USA prepare for the 2024 Paris Games? The Sporting News breaks down the roster below.

Flagg is a pleasant addition to the roster as an incoming freshman at Duke and the potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Young stars like Jalen Duren, Brandon Miller and Keegan Murray are also intriguing players who could be groomed for future USA Basketball senior team rosters.
What is the USA Select Team?
The Select Team is a 12-man roster that is typically made up of younger prospects who could be the next generation of potential candidates for the United States Senior National Team. They will travel to Las Vegas to practice and scrimmage against the senior team to help them prepare for the upcoming tournament.
It's important to note that in the event that someone on Team USA cannot suit up for the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup — due to injury or any other reason — players from the Select Team can be promoted to the senior team.
