Grant Hill talked about the 2024 USA Select team

USA Basketball Men's National Team Managing Director Grant Hill shared his excitement for this year's USA Select team. He highlighted the importance of this opportunity for the selected players and the program's process toward building a competitive international roster for the future.

"As a former member of the USA Select Team, I know how important and fun this opportunity is for each of these players," Hill said in a statement.

"There is a tremendous amount of talent on this Select squad with the significant job of helping the 2024 USA Men's National Team as they begin their journey to the Olympics. Each of these athletes will play a role in our preparation as we also develop the national team pipeline for the future."

There's no denying that basketball talent from other countries has improved. That doesn't mean the U.S.A.'s program has fallen behind as it remains the gold standard.

However, it also looks upon the people involved to rightfully prepare their current and future athletes to defend their position and reputation in international competitions.

After the country lost to Canada in last year's FIBA World Cup, finishing fourth, the program desired to pick up the pace in being a commanding basketball presence.
