Banchero is entering his second season in the NBA after winning the Rookie of the Year award in the 2022-23 season. Tyrese Haliburton is fresh off his best season yet as the number-one option with the Indiana Pacers.

Besides Team USA, Canada is another standout as well with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, and Lu Dort. Outside the obvious NBA talent on display, Canada also consists of a number of excellent role players from the league.

Australia is no slouch as well with the NBA talent they have on their roster. From Josh Giddey to Patty Mills.

Both Joe Ingles and Patty Mills have seen their fair share of FIBA Basketball action that can guide the young players on the team.
