Jaylen Brown or Derrick White?

[@Dimesprodz]

Brown.

[@thetwiggamingchannel9578]

Derrick White is just a glue guy so his edituon makes sense, we do need more SFs tho unless ant or bron plays SF

[@SkippySpursFan]

It’s criminal that Brown was left out, he would be such a great glue player

The question shouldn't be who's better between Jaylen Brown or Derrick White. The question should be why is Devin Booker even on Team USA? By your metric, Booker shouldn't be on the team as Brown and White are more versatile than him.

[@Swish2430]

@@marvinm8343 I mean I guess you could ask that but I’m talking about a replacement for a player that’s already not on the team not a removing a player that’s already solidified on the team and deciding whether or not they should be replaced

[@marvinm8343]

@@Swish2430 I'm a C's fan so I don't have any qualms about DWhite making the team. It's been well known for quite some time now that he's a leading replacement. Sure, Jaylen is the more dynamic scorer and better athlete. But, DWhite makes better decisions on both sides of the ball and he is the superior 3point shooter.

[@Swish2430]

@@marvinm8343 I mean I don’t have a problem with Derrick White, I think he’ll fit in fine but I just think Jaylen Brown should’ve been selected over him but it’s not like I’m gonna hold a grudge or anything

[@hooptroopers]

It doesn't matter how good JB is or how many players need to be replaced on the roster. They will find somebody else. They can't have a highly intelligent black man who is completely unwilling to run with the narratives of the stakeholders and corporations that direct and control every aspect of the business also known as the sports world.

[@gabepizza]

When the original roster for this team came out I was like "who is going to be a bench player" and I don't mean come off the bench as a 6th/7th man, I mean the 11th or 12th man who won't play any meaningful minutes against real teams. The Jerami Grants, JaVale Mcgees and Keldon Johnsons of the 2021 team. Not saying that White will be that guy who doesn't play, he may very well me an integral part of Kerr's rotation, BUT he might be that guy. And the important thing is that Kerr won't have to worry about drama if he White is the last guy on the bench who doesn't play. Brown, the finals MVP, cannot be that 12th guy on the team. Since 2004 we learned that these FIBA Teams can't just be All-Star teams with the best available players but must be real teams. Not only does that mean having players to play certain roles aka role players but also have players who can be essentially glorified cheer leaders, just like they have at the end of every NBA bench. This team already has enough superstars with giant egos who Kerr will have to placate.

[@denzelmartin6201]

One argument you forgot is that jaylen is the most versatile player after kawai based on his last Olympic performance where he played all 5 positions and could complete any assignment given to him. But these corporate sellout analysts want you to think hes some narcissistic team cancer who can only thrive with the ball in his hands. One more thing..... the powers that be are tired of brown outshining tatum every chance he gets they dont want brown to look anymore better than tatum than he already is to the masses.

[@Newportnews98]

Get off your knees. Tatum lead the Celtics in assists and rebounds all brown did was average 21 points 😂😂. Brown is not playing the 5 over AD embid and bam.

[@GMoneyXL1969]

I'm surprised that there were no tryout camp for Team USA. Matter of fact, did they do a scrimmage against one another? Iron sharpen iron and that is what makes the team tougher.

[@Swish2430]

[@JT_for_Three]

You forgot about JB playing with the BIG 3 league…NBA doesn’t want it’s players playing in that league. And then a few years ago, when Kyrie Irving was in trouble, about the anti- semitism situation, JB pretty much stuck up for him. And then, JB said, how he wanted to start a black Wall Street. Add all that up that + the Nike Situation, and that’s not a good look for JB.

[@emilediekstra4555]

Jaylen Brown should be on the team.

If any of those Celtics get season 😢ending injuries? I think every team should send their best player. Or they can only select one player from a team. These older guys that have Olympic gold should be ashamed. Give the current generation a chance

@@gregorywilson2124 this is most likely the last chance all the older guys will ever get to an Olympic gold for the rest of their entire lives. The current generation/younger guys will have multiple opportunities in the future. Plus there are young players on the team. Tatum, Ant, Hali, Book

Some of these comments are wedge driven. The same wedge that created this dumb narrative that Tatum was a better player than Brown which he never been. Talk to me when I see Jason Tatum consistently pick up opposing players full court or ask to guard the opposing Team’s best players. You don’t get to be the best player just because you’re light skinned and look like the City of Boston.

[@msraffa4000]

yeah sir your right there are many player that can score now in NBA.. because now NBA is too soft real talk

[@gregorywilson2124]

I think only one Celtic Should be there. If there are 2 it should be Brown. Jru shouldn’t be there. What about Ja Morant or Fox from Sacramento? Kyrie is above Jru. Brunson. There are even more guards. Jru was just traded as a piece for Lillard. What about Lamelo

[@Swish2430]

@@gregorywilson2124 Jrue fits in well he most definitely should be there. Ja was injured for all of last season, Lamelo was injured since January, and in terms of guard power they are already stacked Jrue was picked because he doesn’t need to score and can defend at a high level. Kyrie is great but he’d just be another guard scorer which they already have multiple. Brunson would be the same situation as Kyrie

I literally mentioned that scoring isn’t even a factor at all 🤦‍♂️ it’s just defense and I know Derrick white is a great defender but Jaylen Brown is also a great defender and physically bigger which would’ve more useful against other countries that run bigger lineups literally shown in the exhibition games

@@Swish2430 It's a little different - JB is a good defender, DWhite is an ALL-NBA caliber defender. He was the only guard in the top-10 in blocks. But your logic is also wrong - you can't just say "JB is better than White in some areas therefore the anti-nike conspiracy MUST be the reason JB was left out". Unless JB is 100% better than DW at every area team USA needs (which he clearly is not), you cannot presume anything about the decision to leave JB out.

@@dennistang5935 Bruh you seriously think JB ain’t an all nba caliber defender? What finals were you watching? The one I watched I saw Jaylen Brown as the primary defender on arguably the best offensive player in the league in Luka Doncic I didn’t see Derrick White who you say is a better defender than JB taking that assignment. And JB is 100% the better choice other countries are running bigger lineups filled with forwards and bigger guards, why would they pick a smaller Derrick white over a bigger stronger more athletic defender in Jaylen Brown. And if you’re gonna talk about playmaking they already had Hali to use if they wanted to. Multiple times in the exhibition games Derrick white got bullied down low and put in the basket by his own matchup because he’s too small that wouldn’t be the case with JB

@@dennistang5935no my logic is not wrong because in a team full of superstars it’s not about what you can do that everyone can also do it’s what you can uniquely provide and the area that JB is better than White in is the area that Team USA needed more of.
