Managing director of the USA Basketball Men's National Team Grant Hill remarked, "As a former member of the USA Select Team, I know how important and fun this opportunity is for each of these players." "This Select team has a ton of skill, and one of its main responsibilities is to support the 2024 USA Men's National Team as they start their Olympic adventure. Every one of these players will contribute to our training and the future development of the national team pipeline.
In addition to Suggs, who was selected to the 2024 NBA All-Defensive Team, the roster includes Pritchard, the 2024 NBA Champion, ten past first-round choices in the NBA Draft, and seven players who were named to the NBA All-Rookie First or Second Team.
Ten players on the 2024 USA Men's Select Team, including five returnees from the 2023 USA Select Team (Duren, Galloway, Murphy, Murray, Pritchard), have played junior and senior basketball for the United States.
Galloway took part in many World Cup Qualifying periods, which helped the United States get into the FIBA Men's World Cup in 2022. As members of the USA Basketball junior national teams, Duren and Pritchard have won medals in a number of FIBA World Cup and Americas tournaments.
Gold medals in the 2019 FIBA U19 World Cup, 2018 FIBA U17 World Cup, and 2017 FIBA U16 Americas Championship are just a few highlights of Suggs' 2017 USA experience. After winning gold at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in 2018, Jackson-Davis is making his debut appearance back with USA Basketball. Jaquez took part in many minicamps and training camps in 2016 and 2017.
As a member of the USA squad that just won the 2024 Nike Hoop Summit, Flagg was nominated to the All-Star Five at the 2022 FIBA U17 Men's World Cup. He will be the first college student to play for the USA senior national team program since Doug McDermott and Marcus Smart in 2013.
For the first time, Hayes-Davis, Miller, Podziemski, and Potter will play for USA Basketball.
