The starting point guard role will be the most intriguing storyline to look out for as the 2028 Olympics approaches. In many ways, this player will have to make up for the loss of both Stephen Curry and point forward LeBron James. Succeeding two all-time greats is never easy. Especially when you’re talking about the game’s best shooter and playmaker. The team needs a showstopper whose style of play will help fans transition into a new era of US Men’s basketball. Enter, the high-flying theatrics of Ja Morant. Talk about a redemption story. Four years is plenty of time to put his past antics behind him. Morant has the talent and confidence to lead this group to victory.
