Needless to say, the NBA features nothing but the best basketball players on Earth.
However, sometimes, it takes an actual team to win, and not just talent.
That’s why picking up a player like Derrick White made so much sense for Team USA.
At least, that’s how Lance Medow of Mad Dog Sports Radio feels.
"He's a guy that doesn't necessarily need the basketball in his hands to outplay the competition."@LanceMedow explains why Derrick White was a great pick for @USABasketball .

Talking on his radio show, he claimed that it wasn’t like they just brought a random guy from the street to join Team USA; it’s an NBA champion we’re talking about.
More than that, White’s game is tailor-made for what this team needs.
He’s a timely shot-maker who will leave it all on the court on the defensive end of the floor, and, like Medow stated in his show, someone who doesn’t need to have the ball in his hands to make an impact on either end of the court.
From a basketball perspective alone, White is a perfect fit for what this team needs.
He’s not a better payer than Jaylen Brown, who’s considered to be one of the best two-way players in today’s game.
But it’s not like Team USA needed another scoring punch in a roster that already features the best American scorers in the game of basketball right now.
