Team USA will face the Spanish national squad in their latest tune-up game ahead of the FIBA World Cup. Both teams come into the contest having won their first two friendly games. However, Team USA will likely feel confident about extending their unbeaten run due to boasting an exceptional amount of talent and depth within their roster.
Steve Kerr and his coaching staff have a versatile roster to work with, full of playmaking, perimeter scoring, and explosive finishers - while the youthfulness and length of Team USA's roster provide multiple defensive opportunities to work with. Spain, on the other hand, will likely be relying on their veteran participants to help lead the way against a USA team that is expected to be challenging for the FIBA World Cup championship in early September.
