After the conclusion of the Paris Olympics, Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic watched Team USA win yet another gold medal. However, the team had several aging stars, like Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and LeBron James. This will create an opening for new players to compete for the best team in the Olympics, and in four years, Banchero might be on that roster.

Paolo Banchero declined to play for Italy at the 2023 FIBA World Cup in favor of playing for Team USA. When the 21-year-old Orlando star joined the U.S. Men's National Team for the first time last summer, the Americans came in fourth place. This might make it easier to put together one of the strongest American rosters ever for the Paris Games.
