As you can see, outside those four big names, there’s a lot of talent. Team U.S.A is stacked with Young, Zion and Morant. Luka has some help with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Deandre Ayton. Potential Most Improved Player Devonte’ Graham is in the mix as well on Team U.S.A. We’ll see if Doncic can get/stay healthy enough to play in the game. Wendell Carter Jr. is listed on the roster, but Williamson is actually replacing him in the game, as noted by beat reporters.
CORRECTION: Zion Williamson WILL participate IN PLACE of Wendell Carter Jr.
