“I’ll do it”. It almost sounds like the slogan of a famous equipment manufacturer, but it’s simply about the response of Devin Booker to a tweet from Kyle Kuzma on the profile of the players that Team USA will need to restore its image at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
“USA Basketball management better bring in stars who know how to play a role. Anyone can do things with the ball in their hands. But will you agree to defend and put yourself in the corner for a few possessions?”, asked the Washington Wizards player.
Devin Booker, whose name had already been mentioned in the list of players that LeBron James would like to try to convince to join the US selection for next year, seems ready.
“I will do it”he replied to Kuzma.
The Phoenix Suns star was already there in Tokyo and contributed to the United States’ victorious campaign until the final against France. Booker had scored more than 9 points per game, in a roster that included Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard, Zach LaVine, Khris Middleton, Bam Adebayo, Draymond Green, Jrue Holiday, Jerami Grant, JaVale McGee and Keldon Johnson.
Among those who have not yet been surveyed by USA Basketball or by LeBron, who seems quite clearly to be leading the recruiting mission, but who would be ready to join the adventure, we can note Damian Lillard, De’Aaron Fox and Kyrie Irving .
