Looking back at the performance of the US men's basketball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, they proved that they are still the best team in the world, but it has to be admitted that their dominance is declining. They have encountered very severe challenges many times in the process of winning the championship. Whether it was Serbia or France, they showed their strength to defeat the United States during the game.

The Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles in 4 years, the goal of the US men's basketball team is still the gold medal, but James, Curry and Durant will definitely not be able to participate. In fact, these three are still the three best American players in this Olympics, so their retirement will undoubtedly bring a huge blow to the US men's basketball team. The players we will take stock of next (under 25 years old) are all young players who may be selected for the next US Olympic men's basketball team. Can any of them take over from James, Curry and Durant?

6. Armen Thompson (21 years old)

This season he has 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals.

As a rookie of the 2023 class, Thompson is a very comprehensive player. His biggest advantage is on the defensive end. Standing at 2.01 meters tall, he has extremely strong defensive pressure. He can average 3.6 steals every 36 minutes. His super athletic ability and ball-handling skills allow Thompson to launch a fast break directly after a steal, which is one of the most essential winning logics of the US men's basketball team.
