Australia has an interesting decision for the Olympics re: Ben Simmons and Jonah Bolden as well, given how this squad has gone. Hard to see a player like Simmons slotting into the offense the Boomers have been running, although I could see him working similar to what we've seen Bogut doing, but it would mean a lot less ball handling for Ben than he's used to. Jonah may have burnt his bridges by pulling out of the squad so quickly a week before the tourney.

I love Kemba as a teammate & competitor. I guess you might as well keep him as #11 next to Marcus instead of Harrison Barnes or Khris Middleton if better wings play. Btw, I guess I have moved on if I didn't even think of Kyrie as an option as a small offensive first guard!
What did he stand to lose though? He's spent the last decade losing to better teams & being a second/third tier guy, I think this only gave him the chance to up his reputation.
