USA Basketball will evaluate possible Tokyo 2020 roster after each round of NBA Playoffs
The current deadline to turn in Olympic rosters is July 5th, just before the start of the NBA Finals
USA Basketball President Jerry Colangelo will remain patient with finalizing the Team USA roster ahead of the Olympics. USA Basketball will conduct a minicamp as early as July 1st in Las Vegas.
"I’ll cut to the chase because people are asking me, ‘A lot of teams are out (of the playoffs) – are you going to get early commitments from certain people?’ " Colangelo told USA TODAY. "That’s not the way we’re going to deal with this. We have interest in all of them. There’s a lot of variables, and so we’re going to do inventory after the first round. There’ll be a number of players who we have interest in that conceivably are available after the first round. There’s no rush because we have the flexibility."
Colangelo could possibly hold a spot for a few players who reach the Conference Finals and beyond.
